Proof of Progress: How Collaboration Along Value Chains Drives Resilience and Sustainability

Purpose & Context:

​The EU Sustainable Finance agenda is entering a new phase, shifting from designing ambitious frameworks to focusing on practical implementation, feasibility, and simplification. Recent changes in key sustainability policy files (CSRD, CSDDD, SFDR, etc.), driven by the EU’s competitiveness and simplification agenda, have created uncertainty and seemed to put sustainability progress on hold. But there is reason to be hopeful: Behind the scenes, many frontrunners and transition champions have rolled up their sleeves and continued to make real progress.

​This event aims to highlight these achievements. By sharing insights from firms, banks, and policymakers, we will demonstrate how collaboration along value chains fosters business resilience and sustainability. We invite participants from the real economy, financial institutions, policy, and philanthropy to learn, discuss, and, most importantly, carve out next steps for joint action.

​The event includes: interactive sessions with all participants, high level keynote speeches by policy makers and practicioners, as well as networking formates.

​Format: Half-day event with multiple sessions and different interactive formats

​This event is closed-door and participation is by invitation. If you received this page link and would like to confirm attendance or suggest additional participants, please contact the organising team.
