The sustainability landscape is more complex than ever. Geopolitical disruptions, regulatory uncertainty, and rising climate risks are reshaping corporate strategy. What hasn’t changed is that managing ESG-related opportunities and risks is an effective pathway for businesses to secure competitive advantage, gain commercial benefits, and future-proof against further uncertainty.

Businesses must integrate sustainability as a key performance driver and focus on pivotal enablers for business success: mobilising sustainable finance, leveraging innovation and technology, transforming supply chains, engaging with policy frameworks, and tackling inequalities. These levers are propelling businesses to rapidly achieve significant positive impacts for both their bottom line and society.

The 2025 UN Global Compact Network UK Annual Summit will convene business leaders, policymakers, and sustainability experts to explore delivering tangible business benefits by driving progress on sustainability. Through thought-provoking panel discussions, engaging fireside chats, hands-on workshops, and extensive networking, the Summit will showcase how you can future-proof your business in a rapidly changing world by aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
