“Ready to advance in Sustainability? Navigate the path towards impact together with your peers.”

The Sustainability Working Group provides CCR members with a confidential platform for exchanging insights on sustainability reporting. Following the Chatham House Rule, participants discuss practical topics, share experiences, and learn from each other to implement sustainability projects effectively within their own companies.

Each session focuses on a theme chosen by the members and also offers an opportunity to expand professional networks and establish new connections.
