BSR provides members with access to exclusive insights and analysis to help your business transform to meet existing and emerging sustainability challenges.

Every quarter, BSR members receive the ‘Quarterly Member Insights’ report with news and insights from our global team of sustainability and industry experts. 

This year, we are introducing the ‘BSR Insights’ series of webinars (and hybrid events in select locations) for all members. The goal is to walk you through these emerging developments and explore their implications for your company and its key stakeholders. 

In our first installment, you will hear from our climate, human rights, supply chain experts and more as they share highlights on:

• Developments in human rights due diligence and modern slavery
• Evolving supply chain expectations and our latest work on reporting and engaging Boards of Directors
• Climate risk, transition, and mitigation strategies as well as key updates after COP27 and the Global Biodiversity Framework

You also will have the opportunity to learn about our grants-funded work and other BSR collaborations.

The webinar is open to all member companies and their employees. We encourage you to invite additional colleagues inside or outside of your team and take full advantage of BSR’s member benefits.
