The sustainability consulting landscape has changed dramatically over the last decade. Sustainability consultancies big and small have emerged to meet the growing demand for climate action and ESG services. But how will the evolving global regulatory landscape and pressure from investors, customers, and other stakeholders shape the next decade of environmental issues? And how will tech-enabled sustainability platforms optimize client management?

Please join experts from HXE Partners, Summit Strategy Group, and Sustain.Life for a virtual fireside chat. They’ll cover the ever-evolving sustainability and ESG consulting space, industry trends, and share insight into their work supporting clients.
