Summary
Join us for the S&P Global Thought Leadership Event and Sustainability Yearbook Distinction Ceremony in Paris on June 12, 2025. This prestigious event celebrates companies recognized in the 2025 S&P Global Yearbook for their outstanding sustainability practices, as assessed through the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). This year, over 200 Yearbook members hail from Europe, including more than 60 companies distinguished in the top 1% to top 10% CSA Score category.
Attendees will gain insights into emerging trends and best practices while celebrating our collective efforts toward a sustainable future.
The thought leadership portion of the event will feature in-depth discussions on:
Supply Chains: As a major focal point, the complexities of risks, dependencies, and opportunities in supply chains are critical for business success. In this session, we will discuss approaches to assess material sustainability aspects along the supply chain, including how to leverage various risk metrics such as transition, physical, and nature risks, along with other ESG factors.
Energy Transition: We will explore potential scenarios for the future and discuss strategies for identifying new market opportunities. This session will equip you with valuable insights on effectively navigating the energy transition and planning for long- term success.
The event will conclude with the distinction ceremony and a networking drinks reception. Participating in the CSA and being featured in the Yearbook enhances credibility, attracts investors, and positions companies as leaders in sustainability. Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate excellence in sustainability and inspire change.
