Event – The Future of Responsible Business

Event – The Future of Responsible Business

On Monday afternoon, 30 June 2025, we invite you to join a unique event focused on the future of responsible business in Europe. Together with leading Members of the European Parliament and expert speakers, we will explore the evolving legal frameworks, strategic opportunities, and key challenges around sustainability due diligence and corporate governance.

What’s on the agenda?

This event is a unique public-private collaboration between Intire and MEPs from GL-PvdA and D66/Renew Europe. Featuring speakers such as Lara Wolters (GL-PvdA) and Gerben Jan Gerbrandy (D66/Renew Europe), the afternoon will provide direct engagement with the policymakers shaping Europe’s regulatory landscape.

Together, we’ll discuss how companies can move beyond compliance and drive meaningful impact—within their value chains and across society.

Topics of discussion include:
