Reaching a Global Audience

Under the mandate of the Terra Carta, the Sustainable Markets Initiative is ​helping to lead the way for a just transition to a more sustainable future. Its power to convene top organisations from industry and the financial services, alongside governments, at global events is the key to unlocking the delivery of this transition.    

SMI in Davos

On Wednesday 18th January, the Sustainable Markets Initiative hosted its first event of 2023, convening global CEOs and SMI supporters for the launch of the 2022 Impact Report in Davos. 

The launch reception showcased the action and impact the SMI has made against the 10 Terra Carta Articles over the past year, as well as the commitments of the SMI to keep driving results to build a more sustainable future for Nature, People, and Planet.     

At Goals House in Davos, the SMI’s Sustainable Buildings Task Force bought together over 17 global companies and organisations for a roundtable on the “Pathway to Decarbonizing the Built Environment”; exploring the solutions and actions that can be taken to accelerate the delivery of net zero buildings to reduce carbon emissions.

Terra Carta Action Forum at COP27

The convening power of the Sustainable Markets Initiative was on full display at the Terra Carta Action Forum, as global CEOs and world leaders discussed how to accelerate change whilst keeping Nature, People and Planet at the core of industry and financial services.

More than 500 people attended 20 events across the two-day COP27 forum.

The two-day SMI Terra Carta event at COP27 brought together 26 CEOs that provided remarks and insights alongside government representatives, NGOs and public sector organizations. Discussions included a range of topics such as scaling blended finance, the energy transition, sustainable air travel, agribusiness, sustainable buildings, and regenerative fashion.

During Climate Week in New York, September 2022, The Sustainable Markets Initiative convened 65+ global CEOs for its bi-annual CEO Summit. These activities continue the collective work of the SMI network in assuring a just transition to a more sustainable future.
