Sustainability & ESG International Summit 2026

The Sustainability & ESG International Summit 2026 is a sector-focused ESG conference taking place on 24 to 25 November 2026 in São Paulo, Brazil. Now in its third edition, the summit brings together corporate professionals, industry experts, and sustainability leaders to explore environmental, social, and governance strategies for the cement, mining, and construction industries. It is designed as a platform that connects ESG strategy, regulation, finance, and industrial operations in one setting.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of the summit is to help companies in heavy industry strengthen their sustainability strategies through practical discussion on regulation, finance, operations, and corporate ESG performance. The event is built to support corporate attendees with insight into how sustainability and ESG can be integrated more effectively across strategy, reporting, supply chains, climate action, and industrial decision-making.

Key Activities

The summit includes presentations, speaker sessions, and corporate networking built around topics such as sustainable finance and investment, supply chain management, energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions, ESG reporting and disclosure, circular economy and waste management, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and biodiversity conservation. The programme also includes sector-specific themes such as critical minerals and ESG risk in cement supply chains and responsible sourcing of strategic minerals.

Significance

The event is significant because it focuses on ESG and sustainability in industries that face high regulatory, operational, and decarbonization pressure. By concentrating on cement, mining, and construction, the summit creates a more targeted forum than a general ESG conference, with discussion shaped around the realities of industrial operations, finance, compliance, and supply chain resilience.

Expected Outcomes

Attendees can expect to gain practical sustainability insight, stronger understanding of ESG-related risks and opportunities, and new connections with peers, experts, and solution providers across the industrial value chain. The event is intended to support more informed corporate action, stronger collaboration, and better alignment between ESG ambition and operational execution.
