Sustaining Sustainability: Strategy in the Storm
Responsible Business USA 2026 returns to Boston on May 5-6, 2026, bringing together 350 senior sustainability leaders to tackle the most pressing challenge facing corporate sustainability professionals today: maintaining momentum and investment when economic headwinds threaten hard-won progress.
The Challenge We're Facing
The administration has drawn a line in the sand. Reporting demands are diverging as global and domestic regulations grow evermore fragmented. Investor expectations are less clear. Budgets are under pressure. Your board wants short-term results. Your stakeholders expect credible progress. Your teams need clarity amid political noise and regulatory fragmentation.
In 2026, the question isn't whether sustainability matters-it's how to keep it funded, strategic, and influential when competing priorities emerge.
Why RB USA 2026?
This isn't another conference about why sustainability matters. It's built for leaders navigating the "how"-how to protect funding, retain board buy-in, and position sustainability as a visible driver of growth and resilience.
We've intentionally capped attendance at 350 participants to create the candid, high-level conversations our community needs to navigate this pivotal moment. You'll connect with Chief Sustainability Officers, ESG Directors, and Corporate Responsibility leaders who are shaping strategies and investments across industries-from CPG and retail to financial services, healthcare, energy, and technology.
What You'll Gain
Over two focused days, you'll tackle the strategic imperatives keeping you up at night through five critical tracks:
Proving the business value of sustainability and retaining board buy-in - Translate impact into language that resonates with CFOs and boards
Creating alignment through clear sustainability communications - Cut through greenwashing fears and political noise with credible messaging
Building supply chain influence and innovation - Drive accountability and collaboration beyond your organizational walls
Maintaining compliance in a fractured regulatory landscape - Navigate diverging global and domestic reporting requirements
AI's role in sustainability - Leverage emerging technology to scale impact and improve data accuracy

Intimate roundtables capped at 12-15 participants for honest peer exchange
