Breakfast Briefing – The Future Shape of Sustainability

Be among the first to hear what our new research reveals about sustainability in the Netherlands, over breakfast.

Sustainability has reached an inflection point.

Regulation, geopolitics, technology and the pressure to deliver commercially are all reshaping what’s expected of sustainability. At the same time, organisations hold very different views on what the function is for and the value it should deliver. For many, sustainability now faces a credibility challenge: it is often seen as a cost centre, under growing scrutiny to prove its impact on business outcomes.

Our new research asks a simple question: what does the future shape of sustainability look like?

The answer isn’t built on hypothesis. It’s grounded in data and in the real experiences of organisations operating today, including in-depth interviews with companies based in the Netherlands. Crucially, we heard not only from sustainability teams but from across the business, so the research shows where sustainability is delivering impact, where it is falling short, and how it is seen by the people it needs to influence.

Join us for an exclusive breakfast briefing led by Ben Hayman, Executive Director at Anthesis, who will share the findings, with a focus on what they reveal about Dutch organisations and how they compare with the wider picture.

You’ll discover:

• How organisations are handling the rollercoaster of regulation, and staying on course as requirements shift
• The business imperative, and how leading organisations are building the commercial case for sustainability
• How AI is changing sustainability, not just making it more efficient but reshaping the work itself
• Where sustainability teams collaborate well across the business, and where friction gets in the way

There will also be plenty of time over breakfast to discuss the findings with our team and connect with peers facing the same challenges.
