CSERA 2026 is a focused, working conference designed to advance practical solutions on corporate sustainability and environmental rights in Asia. To ensure meaningful dialogue and interactive engagement, participation is limited to fewer than 150 participants. The conference is structured around practical implementation of corporate sustainability and environmental rights standards. Through technical sessions and interactive workshops, participants will explore solutions, implementation challenges, and emerging expectations in the region, with a strong focus on strengthening business practice. Multistakeholder dialogue remains central to the conference. In addition to business representatives, participation will also include representatives from civil society, Indigenous Peoples groups, affected communities, investors, and technical experts to ensure discussions are grounded in diverse perspectives and lived experience. Due to limited capacity, applications will be reviewed to ensure: • Relevance to the conference themes • Experience in business, human rights, and environmental practice • Constructive engagement in solution-oriented dialogue • A balanced and diverse representation of stakeholders, sectors, and geographies Selection decisions will reflect the overall objectives of the conference and the need to maintain an appropriate balance among participant groups. We regret that not all qualified applicants may be accommodated due to space limitations.
