As a former in-house sustainability leader and now consultant, I've struggled to keep track of all the events out there and when they're happening. There's no single place to go to see what's available and keep track of when events are scheduled. I'm continuously asked by clients and those new to the field where they can go to learn more and meet other sustainability professionals.
I needed a list that stayed fresh — so I built Sustainability Lineup.
Sustainability Lineup focuses on professional and corporate sustainability events held in the United States (for now) — conferences, summits, and forums where practitioners gather to share, learn, and move the work forward.
We cover a range of topics including corporate sustainability strategy, climate and energy transition, ESG and responsible investment, circular economy, EHS management, sustainable supply chain, and industry-specific events in sectors like healthcare, sports, entertainment, and beyond.
To be listed, an event generally needs to meet most of the following:
Regional events are welcome — a well-run regional gathering with a professional audience absolutely belongs here alongside national conferences.
Our discovery process runs on two tracks. Every candidate goes through the same review process against our inclusion criteria before anything goes live.
An AI-assisted search scans the web quarterly for new and updated events, checking known organizers and surfacing new candidates from across the sustainability landscape.
Events submitted directly by organizers, recommended by members of the sustainability community, or identified through our own professional networks and experience in the field.
The result is a calendar you can trust — comprehensive enough to be useful, curated enough to respect your time.
Sustainability Lineup is a project of One Small Step. If your organization is navigating growing sustainability expectations — from strategy and disclosure to carbon accounting — we'd love to connect.
Fractional sustainability leadership, project-based consulting, and ad-hoc advisory for businesses that need expertise without a full-time hire.
Outsourced greenhouse gas emissions measurement, management, and reporting — so you don't have to become a carbon accounting expert.
