    4th Annual Sustainability Week US

    Demonstrating a measurable return on investment in business transformation is hard. But boards and external investors require it, and a clear business case helps organisations secure resources to implement change.

    Sustainability professionals are meeting more challenges in achieving their targets, from complex laws and reporting rules to a need for change in company culture and staff skills. In 2024, this event will bring together businesses, policymakers and government. One-on-one meetings and exclusive closed-room sessions such as the CSO Leaders’ Club will provide insight on how to achieve success.

The conference will delve into the role of microfinance in driving comprehensive transitions across economic, social, and environmental dimensions. During the three days of the conference, researchers from Europe and beyond, including early career researchers, graduate students, and practitioners with interest on academic research will uncover innovative strategies, evidence-based insights, and actionable recommendations to further advance the field of microfinance and transition.

The trade exhibition is a key platform for promoting the latest products, technology and equipment for the solar industry.
