Inside the minds of sustainabilityâs most powerful leaders
The role of the CSO has evolved. Today, they are at the heart of business transformation â balancing stakeholder pressure, regulatory shifts, investor scrutiny and climate risk in equal measure.
The CSO Strategy Summit offers an exclusive window into how the worldâs most influential sustainability leaders are reshaping global business.
This panel unites CSOs from top-tier companies to share what it really takes to deliver sustainable change at scale â from boardroom influence and culture change to carbon accounting, value chain decarbonisation and social impact.
Panellists include:
- Page Motes, Chief Compliance & Sustainability Officer at Hertz
- Christina Shim, Chief Sustainability Officer at IBM
- Saskia van Gendt, Chief Sustainability Officer at Blue Yonder
- Jennifer Motles, Chief Sustainability Officer at Philip Morris International
These are the voices behind the worldâs most ambitious ESG strategies. Expect honest reflections on overcoming internal pushback, managing greenwashing risks and leading across complex global operations.
Learn how they embed sustainability into core strategy, translate goals into action and secure buy-in from the C-suite to the shop floor.
