Organizations with strong commitments to sustainability, climate action and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles have been invited to participate in a high-profi le initiative alongside the 2026 UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Trkiye.
The COP31 100 Global Impact Leaders program, jointly organized by the UN World Women Organization, the Global CSR Foundation, and international business publication The European, aims to recognize organizations that are making signifi cant contributions to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and climate action.
The initiative will bring together businesses, investors, policymakers, fi nancial institutions and sustainability leaders during COP31, providing selected participants with opportunities for global recognition, executive networking and media exposure.
At the heart of the program is the publication ‘100 Global Impact Leaders: Advancing the SDGs Toward 2030,’ a special supplement highlighting companies, institutions, policymakers and innovators demonstrating measurable progress in sustainability and responsible business practices.
The initiative comes as sustainability reporting and ESG disclosure continue to gain prominence worldwide.
Organizers noted that the UN Sustainable Development Goals have become central to corporate investment and reporting strategies, while new international sustainability reporting standards and growing investor expectations are increasing demand for transparent climate and ESG performance.
According to the organizers, the program is designed to help participating organizations demonstrate leadership in climate action, strengthen relationships with investors and policymakers, highlight sustainable business practices, enhance executive visibility and build international partnerships ahead of the 2030 SDG deadlin
