In today’s rapidly evolving world, companies are facing rising expectations to address not just environmental and climate concerns, but also the health and well-being of their stakeholders. Leading organizations are now moving beyond siloed efforts by developing integrated strategies that combine health, environment, and climate action into one cohesive framework.

As climate change accelerates, businesses around the world are under increasing pressure not just to reduce emissions but also to adapt to its inevitable impacts. Climate-proofing — the process of making businesses resilient to climate risks — is no longer optional. It is becoming a fundamental part of long-term corporate strategy and risk management.

As the urgency to address climate change intensifies, industry-specific collaboration is becoming a crucial driver for real impact. In this context, the SBT Industry Specific Exchange Series emerges as a key platform to accelerate companies' commitment toward science-based climate targets tailored to their sectors.

As global awareness of human rights (HR) issues continues to grow, companies across all sectors are increasingly expected to deepen their Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) practices. HRDD is no longer seen as a mere compliance requirement — it has become an essential part of corporate sustainability and social responsibility strategies.
