SustainChain™ is a free public service platform created by the US Coalition on Sustainability that gathers and incubates impact action efforts across a global network of stakeholders to drive rapid progress on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). INTEGRATE 21 is an event designed to educate CFO’s, Finance and IR Professionals on how to adopt, execute & operationalize ESG strategy to inform internal decisioning, mitigate enterprise risk and facilitate external integrated reporting. INTEGRATE is committed to SDG 17 and uses the SustainChain Platform to track partnerships and collaborations developed at the conferences.

How it Works: SustainChain uses systems-based technology to load attendee profiles and SDG initiatives onto a platform to make them into a visible web of collective action so that attendees can see all of the different initiatives that are being worked on and join the efforts that align to the SDG they are most passionate about. Attendees can also share their own sustainability initiaitves to engage others to join them. This platform synthesizes all of the sustainability efforts into one place to easily see the work being done and enables connections to drive progress on the SDG’s. Imagine a massive knowledge ecosystem for sustainability efforts with the ease to join, collaborate and scale progress on the SDG’s.
