2020 has seen a rough start with the COVID-19 pandemic. In the aftermath of this dramatic health crisis, we all have a duty to collaborate towards the adoption of a sustainable and inclusive approach to growth.

This year, we want to encourage forward-looking dialogues and collaborations with between businesses, industry federations and EU policymakers on how to build back better our economies and societies. For this reason, in 2020, we are preparing for you the first-ever virtual European SDG Summit in collaboration with our network of National Partner Organisations: 5.000+ local, European and global Actors of Change networking online in 40+ sessions to incubate action-oriented collaborations aimed at:

  • Increasing the resilience of enterprises;

  • Rebuilding our societies and economies;

  • Accelerating the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

The European SDG Summit 2020 is organised in the framework of the European Pact for Sustainable Industry: a pan-European movement to invigorate leadership and engagement at local and international level towards a Sustainable Europe 2030.
