About

Our Story

In an era where sustainability is evolving from voluntary to mandatory, the stakes for organizations and planetary health have never been higher. As businesses recalibrate their strategies, there's a unique opportunity for the diverse, inclusive community of Chief Sustainability Officers (CSOs) to drive impactful change.

Most of the leading CSOs are women, now occupying key roles in the C-suite and on boards across various sectors including businesses, NGOs, government, and civil society.

These women, with their vast networks and influence, are uniquely positioned to shape the future of global sustainability.

Sustainability Women in the World (SW2) was founded in Fall 2023 to empower Women CSOs to unite, amplify their collective voice, and accelerate efforts to restore planetary health. Our mission is clear: a healthy planet is essential for healthy people and profits.

We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive community of women to amplify the collective voice and impact of sustainability leaders to drive the changes needed to address global challenges and seize the opportunity to deliver measurable impacts.
