About
With just five years remaining to achieve the global sustainability goals by 2030—and the world at a critical juncture—WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award and CSR Västsverige proudly present the Gothenburg Sustainability Summit: a dynamic forum for learning, collaboration, and trailblazing leadership.
The climate crisis and global sustainability challenges demand bold action, not minor adjustments.
The courage required today is extraordinary: courage to take responsibility, embrace failure, and begin anew. Together, we can shift our perspective from what is to what could be.
Programme Highlights
This year’s summit places trailblazing leadership at the centre—as both a driving force for change and a key to tackling complex global challenges.
Be inspired by stories from global and local pioneers,
Engage in interactive dialogues on change management and explore how to collaboratively create tangible impact.
Celebrate the announcement of the 2025 WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award laureate, recognising a leader who exemplifies courage and innovation in navigating complex challenges towards a sustainable and peaceful future.
Discover practical tools and strategies for addressing today’s global challenges, and gain insights into how to prepare tomorrow’s leaders for sustainable, long-term decision-making.
By uniting those ready to move beyond traditional solutions, the summit aims to spark tangible and enduring change. It will highlight the external challenges today’s leaders must navigate and the internal resources needed to overcome them. The programme also focuses on empowering future leaders to make sustainable, long-term decisions from the outset.
Together, we dare to lead the future. See you at the Gothenburg Sustainability Summit 2025!
