Build the roadmap for a better, just and clean future

Sustainability is no longer at the fringes of business strategy; it is intrinsic to any successful business' future. We know what we need to do, and why, but the inescapable question is how. The problems we face are no longer future challenges. We are already seeing the crisis unfolding. It is now the time for action.

This year Reuters Events: Transform USA 2021 [May 4-5] will provide the forum for leaders to come together and share how they're executing strategy that builds resilience and delivers the sustainability transition. Transform USA will guide you through the issues so that you can forge a robust and achievable roadmap to make your business clean, resilient, and just.

Within weeks of President Biden's election we've seen moves towards environmental and social issues being core priorities of this administration. Join us online in May as we help provide you with new ideas and answers that redefine business for a better future.

This is where the solutions are

Our essential themes for 2021 designed by sustainability leaders and industry experts:

Strategy, Data and Risk Identification

Every company must strive to understand, quantify, and disclose its risk, progress and impact. Collecting the right information, data and opinion is not only paramount to determining a responsible strategy, but also to establishing a company’s credentials while injecting social purpose.

Sustainable Transformation and Delivery

The time has come to transition your business and supply chain to a low carbon, circular and regenerative model. Ensure that you have well-supported and agile strategies, the right investments and making the most of the best suited technologies and innovations available.

Engage, Collaborate and Deliver Impact

It’s not enough for companies to transform alone. Creating real, far-reaching impact requires a collective and co-ordinated effort from everyone – upstream and downstream, shareholders and stakeholders, bridging the public-private sector gap, and the investment community – business must lead the way.

Why Transform USA 2021 is a Must-Attend Event

For the first-time, Transform USA address corporate sustainability like no other. Time has run out for businesses to rely on announcements and press releases, which is why we have created a forum and a market place to host the most inspiring voices out there and the most promising vendors to tell with the sustainability transition of companies of all sizes.

Across 12+ hours of daily broadcasts and workshops we will provide you the access to those leading the change through our live keynotes, case studies, panel discussions and Q&A sessions to make sure you can make real change to your company for a better future.

Don’t miss a thing – the all-access pass gives you access to all the sessions On-Demand from the Transform USA 2021, plus all other events in 2021.

Stay safe at home with all this business insights from industry-leading decision makers to view at your leisure and help take your sustainability strategies from ambition to action.

To get to the crux of an issue requires honest, frank and open discussion. At Transform USA 2021 we will host workshops and roundtables on key topics including:

Financing a Resilient Future: Making 2021 the Year for Real Change
Sustainable Sourcing in 2021: Putting Purpose at the Heart of Procurement
Investing and Delivering a Nature-Positive Future
Empowering Suppliers to help Deliver a Net-Zero Business

The investors perspective: There is no question that capitalism as we know it is dead. The financial system should help deliver climate and social goals, but market failures and inefficiencies prevent finance from being directed where it will make the most positive impact.

Across the two days we’ll be hosting sessions and interactive ‘meet and speak’ opportunities where corporates, investors and others can share their ideas to build a finance system fit for a clean, resilient and just future.

Gain access to first-hand insights from the industry’s biggest names on how we can take action now to transform business for a better, more resilient future. Some of the confirmed speakers include:

Javier Quiñones CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer IKEA USA
Andrew Kassoy Co-Founder and CEO B Lab
