ESG ratings continue to be a key reference point in the sustainability ecosystem, guiding investment decisions and influencing how customers, regulators, and investors evaluate corporate performance. As sustainability regulations evolve globally, investors and businesses are asking harder questions about the accuracy, consistency, and impact of these ratings. The ERM Sustainability Institute’s multi-year Rate the Raters research series examines how companies and investors perceive and use ESG ratings. At this exclusive roundtable, ERM will present early insights from its 2025 corporate survey (conducted May–July) and facilitate an interactive discussion with senior business leaders and investors on key questions, including:- How are companies and investors using ESG ratings to drive decision-making today? Which ratings are considered most credible, and why? How will evolving sustainability regulations shape the future of ESG ratings?

Sustainability at a Crossroads was developed by ERM, GlobeScan, and Volans. Based on a survey of sustainability experts across 72 countries, the findings suggest we are at a critical point in the evolution of the global sustainability agenda. While the field has matured and expanded over the last few decades, a striking consensus has emerged that the current approach is no longer fit for purpose. More than nine in ten survey respondents agree change is needed, with over half calling for a radical overhaul. So which way do we go? Instead of a crisis, we believe the results sketch a glass-half-full opportunity that opens the door to bold, future-fit strategies capable of meeting and overcoming today's sustainability challenges. Join this roundtable discussion to learn more about the research and to participate in an intimate discussion with senior leaders about which solutions have the highest potential impact and are most feasible to implement quickly and catalyze the just, low-carbon transition business and society need.

This is a key moment in time for sustainability communications. Despite all the geopolitical noise out there, one thing is certain: going silent isn’t the answer. Companies know they must continue communicating their sustainability stories—and the reasons are many and substantial. Not least of which is translating good sustainability work into reputational and financial value for your business. We know that: Business decision makers still expect their supply chains to pursue sustainability, and it factors into their buying decisions (Suzanne will share the data on this at the eve- Consumers are more concerned about climate change than ever before, and they are actively aligning their purchases and their values (ERM Shelton has 18 years of data that tracks this trend) - And communicating your sustainability work is key to generating ROI on the significant sustainability investments you’ve made (buyers can’t make purchasing decisions based on sustainability benefits if they are not aware of them) You and your organization are likely among the majority continuing your communications efforts. Clearly there is risk to be managed, but also opportunity to be leveraged—for those who take advantage of it. Companies who communicate effectively while others lay low have a chance to gain a competitive advantage.Suzanne Shelton will unveil fresh insights from a brand new proprietary survey of business decision makers, combined with our latest consumer insights.

Join ERM and KKR for an exclusive dialogue on “Sustainability That Pays”, where senior decision-makers from the mining, finance, power, oil & gas, renewables, and tech industries will explore how sustainability can deliver measurable business value—even in today’s turbulent global landscape. The discussion will draw on real-world case studies from the mining sector, with a particular focus on critical minerals and their role in the low-carbon transition. Participants will explore how more robust sustainability strategies and value chain collaboration support commercial objectives and strengthen short- and long-term performance. In an era defined by geopolitical and market volatility, trade wars, supply chain disruptions, rising costs, and inconsistent policy signals, building resilient and profitable sustainability initiatives is more challenging—and more essential—than ever. Join ERM and KKR experts for this senior peer exchange on actionable and effective ways to align sustainability with core business performance.

Sustainability has become a key buying criterion in the chemical value chain, yet many buyers struggle to find suppliers that meet their goals. Despite major investments in sustainable products, many companies face challenges turning these into profitable growth. An upcoming forum will explore how to unlock commercial value from sustainability. Topics include market segmentation for sustainability attributes, sustainability value propositions, customer value storytelling, and quantification of financial performance. The forum will convene commercial and sustainability leaders to examine how to drive margin-accretive growth leveraging product sustainability attributes.

The race to Net Zero is on—but are we addressing social risks and opportunities adequately? The Climate Pledge, WBCSD, and ERM are joining a select group of senior human rights and climate professionals to explore how organizations can make their climate transition truly inclusive and equitable across the entire value chain. In this private workshop, we will demystify the Just Transition planning lifecycle and tackle real-world barriers like unclear ownership, siloed teams, and the gap between ambition and action. Through practical frameworks and collaborative problem-solving, you'll leave equipped to embed social impact into your climate strategy—turning Net Zero commitments into lasting, community-driven change.

Widespread efforts to improve the quality of carbon credits are starting to bear fruit. However, private sector investment in high-integrity carbon credits remains below potential. To grow demand, companies now need stronger incentives from both governments and best practice setting organisations. This session will bring together business, government, and market actors to explore the policy interventions and enabling conditions needed to unlock scaled, long-term demand for high-quality carbon credits. Participants will share perspectives on barriers to investment, lessons from emerging national and international initiatives, and opportunities for collaboration that align public and private interests. The discussion supports broader efforts under The Coalition to Grow Carbon Markets, and is intended as a milestone in shaping effective, business-aligned demand-side action in the lead-up to COP30.

What incentives and policies would strengthen the business case for carbon credits? Hosted by ERM/NCSA 12:00pm-2:00pm EDT 277 Park Avenue

About the session: As sustainability and business priorities evolve, and in the context of changing macroeconomic and political landscape, the narrative for sustainability is shifting from a “moral” commitment to a “material” business imperative. Organizations must evolve their approach to sustainability that goes beyond compliance and moral good. This session explores how to identify and realize business resilience through financial quantification of sustainability impacts. This session is designed for corporate and finance leaders, and key stakeholders for a closed-door discussion on embedding sustainability into the language of value creation, value at risk and value protection, so that organizations can enable meaningful, data-driven transformation and strengthen their long-term market position.

Through SBTN’s strategy refresh process in early 2025, SBTN identified interoperability with related frameworks, including the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), as a priority action. While SBTN has conducted preliminary work to demonstrate alignment, partners and end-users have expressed a need for more granular information on how to use SBTN with other frameworks in an efficient manner. The key question SBTN is receiving from its corporate participants is: "How do I reuse data from one approach to another?” While descriptions of general framework alignment and crosswalk tables have become readily available, end-users are seeking a more granular explanation of how to use nature-related impact metrics and pressure data points across their SBTN and TNFD journeys. To meet this need, ERM is developing a new Excel-based tool to guide users between the several sub-tasks of SBTN Step 1 and 2, and the relevant steps of TNFD’s LEAP. During this workshop, nature advisory experts from ERM, SBTN, [and TNFD] will host a roundtable session with SBTN Corporate Engagement Program (CEP) members to encourage cross-learning and collaboration, and to gather feedback on the beta version of the tool to ensure the final published output responds to corporate needs and use cases.
