The Sustainable Scotland Summit is one of SBC's most prodigious events. Aimed at Scotland's most prominent business leaders, environmental organisations and government officials the event will address what steps need to be taken to improve Scotland's environment, society and economy.

Like much of the industrialised world, the Scottish economy faces huge challenges over the coming years and decades. We need to radically cut our greenhouse gases, to address the opportunities posed by renewable energy and to create an economy that has high levels of employment and social inclusion.

As we move back towards economic growth, Scotland’s primary opportunity lies in the development of a sustainable economy. The transition to a sustainable future will require sweeping changes in behaviour, focused public and private sector investment and individuals and businesses to act.

This event is aimed at promoting sustainable development as the driver for the future of economic success in Scotland and will examine and debate how corporate social responsibility and sustainability can help businesses and society in a post-recession climate.
