Sustainable Brands '19 Detroit • Cobo Center • 3–6 June, 2019

Sustainability at SB'19 Detroit

Why YOU Should Attend

Crushing sustainable objectives needn’t be overwhelming.

Working to set strategy and get your whole brand onboard keeps you constantly reassessing. SB’19 Detroit uniquely tackles that struggle with transparent conversations, presentations and workshops aimed at embedding organization-wide change, in practical ways. Walk away with tools and tactics to weave sustainability, social/environmental responsibility and innovation into your brand’s day-to-day ethos. We’re here to help sustainability move from a nice-to-have, to a given, throughout your organization.

What You'll Learn

  • Find inspiration and peer support by meeting fellow change agents along with an energizing set of breakthrough innovators.
  • Discover how to set appropriate environmental and social goals while orienting yourself within the vast ecosystem of solution providers and partners to help you make progress.
  • Determine how to map out the whole sustainability journey and how to set your team up for success at each level of organizational maturity along the way.
  • Prioritize and scale efforts to incorporate the SDGs across your organization
  • Give scope to the challenges surrounding plastic waste reduction, circularity, regeneration, transparency, impact assessment and third-party validation by attending high level presentations aimed at connecting you with the right partners and tool providers
  • Reach your social and environmental objectives faster and more efficiently by enlisting cross-functional teams and encouraging interdepartmental alignment
