Aligning profit, purpose and performance across business

This exclusive event will convene senior leaders to focus on one shared goal: embedding sustainability into the core of how business is done - from strategy to operations.

Designed for cross-functional executives from procurement, marketing, commercial, operations, health & safety, and sustainability, the event centers on real-world execution, peer exchange, and actionable solutions. 

This is not a conversation about sustainability. This is about how your business leads through it.

What to Expect

Future: Sustainable Impact 2026 takes place over two days, with each day designed for a different type of engagement.

  • Day 1 (June 11) is open to all registered participants and features interactive panels, case studies, and cross-functional networking.

Registration includes access to Day 1 only. If you are interested in receiving more information about our Council programme and how to attend on day 1, please contact Evi Angelidou at eangelidou@tcb.org.
