We kicked off day one with something you won\u2019t find at a typical conference: a peer-led vendor clinic.<\/p>\n
As a vendor-free community, the ESG & CSR Pracitioner Summit offers a rare chance to dig into what\u2019s working, what isn\u2019t, and how peers are finding creative workarounds with the platforms that power their programs.<\/p>\n
In Chicago, the conversation centered on some of the most widely used tools in ESG and corporate responsibility, like Workiva, Benevity, Persefoni, Bonterra\/CyberGrants, and more.<\/p>\n
We explored 10 confidential case studies led by senior ESG and CSR leaders. In these 20-minute sessions with Q&A, peers shared unfiltered successes and setbacks:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n Unlike traditional conference formats with pre-set agendas, these dynamic, interactive discussions were shaped entirely by attendees.<\/p>\n Participants suggested the topics they cared about most, voted in real time, and joined the conversations that resonated with their current challenges. This peer-driven format ensured every roundtable was timely, relevant, and rooted in the real-world experiences of ESG and CSR leaders. Here are some of the topics members unpacked:<\/p>\n\n
