In Europe, the Responsible Business Summit has a formidable reputation and a 10 year track record for bringing together the cream of CSR experts and business leaders. The conference organisers, Ethical Corporation, are leading the inaugural US version of this event with an equally impressive speaker line-up.

The CEOs/ Presidents of Timberland, AkzoNobel, Interface and Veolia Water are already confirmed to speak at the New York event.

With senior speakers from European companies such as Maersk Line, ING Group, Henkel, BASF and BT, this conference succeeds in bringing European and US sustainability best practice together under one roof.

The conference heralds the end of vague PR-based speeches with little useful content Renowned for the practical, robust approach of addressing CR issues, the Responsible Business Summit US ensures all speakers give presentations linked specifically to issues integral to their business.

  • The Head of Sustainability from Bank of America will discuss how it is embedding sustainability by developing a cross-organisation Environmental Council
  • The Director of Sustainable Development from PepsiCo will discuss how they have built a reputation among stakeholders for taking CSR issues seriously - and what impact this had on their business planning
  • The SVP from distinguished sustainability pioneer Herman Miller will discuss what impact their commitment - 100% reduction of hazardous waste - had on their supply chain management
  • The Sustainability Leader of BASF will discuss how risk matrices helped BASF identify potential high-risk suppliers in their extensive supply chain

Over the two days, speakers will cover only topics suggested by their peers, as usual in Ethical Corporation events. Topics requested this year include effective CR Reporting; stakeholder engagement; sustainable supply chain and embedding CR throughout your organisation.

For a comprehensive programme for the conference, and further information on the business leaders already attending, please go to www.ethicalcorp.com/rbsusa.

Already an annual fixture on the calendar of CR and sustainability experts in Europe, the US version of the Responsible Business Summit will no doubt receive the same popularity in the America.
