The business of climate action: Turning transition plans into real results

‘The business of climate action’ is a new event series designed exclusively for business and sustainability leaders navigating the complexities of their transition planning. In an era of competing priorities, uncertain regulation, and increasing stakeholder pressure, these events offer an open and energising space to foster meaningful connections and accelerate action.

Business of climate action

Bringing together senior executives, strategists, sustainability leaders, and decision-makers, the series will offer a peer-led, solution-focused space to share challenges, insights and solutions to translate your transition plan into effective results. Tailored to reflect regional dynamics and sectorial nuance, each edition will provide actionable next steps.

Close to 80% of sustainability leaders see financial return as the most persuasive argument for progressing their transition plan, yet close to 60% haven’t quantified it1. Our first edition will focus on bridging that critical gap, showing you how to make a compelling business case for the transition — and move from plan to results.

The first edition will take place in Mexico, London and Stockholm on the following dates:

  • Mexico City: Thursday 27 November 2025
  • London: Tuesday 2 December 2025
  • Stockholm: Thursday 4 December 2025

Introducing the guides that we developed in partnership with the World Business Council on Sustainable Development (WBCSD), our experts will explain how to build a business case that is impossible to ignore, how to rally a critical mass of support and how to break through silos and embed change across your business functions.
