Finding Common Ground Roundtable: Aligning Sustainability Strategy and Government Affairs Priorities
About this event
Join EDF's Net Zero Action Accelerator and Pure Strategies during DC Climate Week for Finding Common Ground: Aligning Sustainability Strategy and Government Affairs Priorities—a facilitated, Chatham House Rule roundtable discussion. This session is specifically designed for corporate sustainability and government affairs leaders to strengthen internal coordination, accelerate climate action, and mitigate organizational risk.A light lunch will be provided.The ChallengeCorporate sustainability strategies are driving innovation—but achieving net zero at scale requires public policy. Progress on climate goals often hinges on trade dynamics and regulatory conditions outside the sustainability team’s control. At the same time, government affairs teams shape positions on energy reliability, resilience, and supply chain security—often without a clear link to climate objectives. The result? Missed opportunities and growing credibility risk.What to ExpectParticipants will engage in a candid, off-the-record dialogue to leave with:
A clearer understanding of how sustainability strategy and public policy priorities intersect in practice.
Greater appreciation of each team’s unique constraints, incentives, and value-add.
Shared language for discussing alignment, tradeoffs, and escalation before issues become external.
