[Event] Climate Week NY | September 23 – Generating Business Value through Sustainability

As sustainability regulations and disclosure expectations continue to evolve, organizations are increasingly expected to demonstrate not only ambitious targets, but also credible plans and measurable progress. This discussion will explore how companies can move from target-setting to execution by embedding sustainability into core business strategy, operations, and value chains.

Panelists will examine emerging expectations around transition planning, including the growing emphasis on implementation and results reflected in frameworks such as the Transition Plan Taskforce and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The conversation will focus on what constitutes a credible transition from ambition to action and how organizations can demonstrate that sustainability investments create value, manage risk, and strengthen long-term resilience.

The panel will also discuss the importance of cross-sector collaboration in overcoming practical transition challenges and translating sustainability commitments into meaningful, lasting outcomes.
