CLOSED EVENT | MEMBERS ONLY

We are pleased to invite you to the inaugural session of CSR Europe’s Future Lab – The Art of Selling Sustainability:  turning sustainability into an engine of competitiveness, growth, and lasting business value - a bold new space for business leaders shaping the future of sustainability, competitiveness, and value creation. 

Why This Session Matters 

Sustainability has reached a turning point. It’s no longer just about doing the right thing; it’s about doing the smart thing. But the critical question remains: 

How can companies make sustainability a true engine of competitiveness, growth, and lasting business value? 

This first Future Lab session will explore the answers to this question. Designed for strategy leaders, CSOs, and sustainability-driven innovators in different departments across sectors. This is a highly interactive workshop drawing on real business challenges, practical case studies, and fresh intelligence from our Knowledge Partner, Deloitte Belgium. 

What You’ll Gain from Attending 

• What’s the true cost - and return - of sustainability? 
  Explore how leading companies calculate and quantify both the risks of inaction and the financial rewards of getting it right.  

• What’s blocking real business impact?

• What actually works in the real world? 
  Learn from tested strategies that connect sustainability to sales, growth, and brand power. 

• What does “competitive” mean in a sustainable economy? 
  Redefine success in your industry, and discover how future-proof companies are changing the game. 

• How can your voice shape the bigger picture? 
  Contribute to a shared roadmap that links business action with European policy, building on the work of the European CSO Network. 

• Collaborate, engage, share, connect, 

Engage your peers and other leaders and representatives from your industry and other sectors, network and connect.  

Why You Should Join 

From shifting regulations to rising B2B expectations, companies today face mounting pressure to prove that sustainability is more than a moral obligation—it’s a core business strategy. 

But doing so requires breaking through: 

• Market volatility and inconsistent incentive structures 

• Internal friction between sustainability, finance, and sales 

• External scepticism and unproven value stories 

The Future Lab is where these challenges are tackled head-on. With your input, we aim to co-create solutions that move the needle, not just in theory, but in real markets. 

Join the Conversation. Help Shape the Future. 

We’re not offering a typical webinar. We’re building a community of action, starting with this powerful exchange.
