NEW YORK, September 8, 2026 /3BL/ - Governance & Accountability Institute, Inc. (G&A), a leader in corporate sustainability consulting and research, today announced Resilient Leadership, an executive webinar hosted in collaboration with S&P Global, to be held Wednesday, September 16, 2026 at 12:00 PM EDT. Registration is now open at ga-institute.com/webinars/resilient-leadership.
The session, convening on the eve of New York Climate Week, brings together North American companies to explore how sustainability is being embedded into business strategy, risk management, and long-term value creation. Whether an organization is preparing for its first participation in S&P Global’s Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) or refining a long-established program, the webinar will offer practical, actionable insight from long-term CSA participants.
As market expectations continue to evolve, companies face growing pressure to understand their most material sustainability risks, manage complex impacts, respond to stakeholder expectations, and identify opportunities that strengthen resilience. Attendees will hear directly from leaders at companies with 25 years of experience responding to the CSA, on how they leverage sustainability insights, benchmark against peers, and translate performance data into strategic action.
The discussion will also highlight how leading companies use the CSA process not only as an annual disclosure exercise, but as a strategic tool to continuously evaluate and improve performance. Drawing on the experience of long-term participants, panelists will examine how the CSA process has evolved over more than 25 years and how companies use its insights to inform decision-making, engage stakeholders, and better position themselves in a changing sustainability landscape. The session will close with a forward-looking conversation on the key sustainability trends shaping global markets.
