Action Themes
Purpose:
To focus the work of WBCSD and its members on critical issues that matter most, where the need is greatest, and where collective action can generate the greatest business value.
How:
Action Themes are the areas of focused work for which WBCSD will be known. They concentrate a broad portfolio into seven priority areas designed to deliver high-value, high-impact business outcomes through collective action. Together, the themes form an impact portfolio through which members co-design and scale solutions, generate evidence, and inform business decisions and investments.
Each theme brings peers together across sectors, value chains and regions to address shared challenges. Clear and practical deliverables will help strengthen business performance, drive innovation and inform policymakers and regulators. Additionally, each theme includes focused sprints, allowing members to engage according to their priorities, interests and appetite for sustainability leadership on specific topics. Companies are encouraged to bring the right colleagues from across the business to engage with as many Action Themes as they choose. Members shape each theme’s priorities through the Communities and each theme’s own member group; further design will be detailed in the complete offer, launching this September.
