Selling Sustainability and
Shifting Consumer Demand & Behaviors
December In-Person Member Meeting 

December 2-3, 2026

Hosted by FINN Partners
1675 Broadway, New York NY 10019
 

 

Meeting Overview

Join the SB Member Community for learning, collaboration, and hands-on strategy building focused on one of our key business challenges: selling the value of more environmentally and socially responsible brands to the various key stakeholders we need onboard, including customers!

We'll explore how brands can authentically communicate their sustainability commitments and inspire consumers to choose products and services that create value for business, people, and the planet. Gain practical tools and methodologies for translating purpose into preference - learning through community connection and co-creating how to tell compelling stories, design meaningful customer experiences, and activate internal teams to make sustainability a core driver of growth.

Together we'll examine what's working in today's dynamic environment, what's next, and how to move from awareness to action to build stronger brands through the power of customer connection.

This SB Member Exclusive gathering is part of our Member Meeting series, intended to create a safe and productive space for discussion, raise shared obstacles and insights, and enable the co-creation of solutions that drive progress for all.
