Digital Participant Guide
23 May 2018
Egmont Palace, Brussels, Belgium
Summit Partners
Dear participant,
Welcome to the Brussels SDG Summit 2018, organised together with the European Business Summit and sponsored
by Enel and PwC Belgium. Our inspiration for this Summit stems from SDG 17 (Sustainable Development
Goal): Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development.
We are bringing together 400 participants including business leaders, experts, EU representatives, NGOs and other
stakeholders to discuss how to accelerate collaboration for the SDGs to achieve systemic change. In this digital
agenda, you will find information to guide you through the day. We hope this Summit will provide you with
inspiration, collaboration opportunities and practical examples to achieve the SDGs.
Brussels SDG Summit
In 2017 CSR Europe organised its first conference on the Sustainable Development Goals within the framework of
the annual European Business Summit. Over 300 participants from companies, the European Union and stakeholders
discussed how business transformation and collaboration are the key drivers for change towards an inclusive and fair
globalisation.
CSR Europe engages itself to organise annually – at a fixed moment in time -, within the European Business Summit,
a high-level conference on the Sustainable Development Goals.
This year’s conference will focus on transforming markets through partnerships for the UN Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs). These goals outline an ambitious global agenda for action, but collaboration is essential to create the
systemic changes that are needed in society. Sectorial and multi-stakeholder partnerships can multiply the positive
impact while sharing the costs. Collaboration, however, is easy to say but hard to do. In this conference, we will bring
together different stakeholders that are engaged in business/sector partnerships to drive change. They will tell their
story and share the challenges and success factors of their collaboration. Learn from the leaders, be inspired by good
practices and get engaged in our SDG roundtables
CSR Europe
CSR Europe is the leading European business network for Corporate Social Responsibility. Through its network of 44
corporate members and 41 National CSR organisations, it gathers over 10,000 companies, and acts as a platform for
those businesses looking to enhance sustainable growth and positively contribute to society. In its mission to bring
the sustainability agenda forward, CSR Europe goes beyond European borders and cooperates with CSR
organisations in other regions across the world. CSR Europe builds on its Enterprise 2020 Initiative with the
Sustainable Business Exchange which incubates multi-stakeholder initiatives that tackle the UN 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development.
