2020 Global Sustainability Summit

Update

In light of global health concerns and evolving travel restrictions for many of our attendees, we’ve made the decision to change the format of McKinsey’s Global Sustainability Summit in 2020 from an in-person event in New York to a series of interactive virtual discussions that will take place in the coming weeks and months. As a Firm we are prioritizing the health and interests of our colleagues, our clients and the wider communities we work in.

In the coming weeks, we will share updates with our global community about the schedule and plans for our virtual events. These online sessions will feature McKinsey experts and thought leaders from our global community, covering topics including climate risk and response, decarbonization, and how to manage sustainability transitions.

Thank you for your patience and understanding – and we look forward to sharing more about our virtual event series and to seeing our global community in person at our Global Sustainability Summit in 2021.
