Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is my great pleasure to warmly welcome all of you to the International Conference on Sustainable Business Innovation and Corporate Responsibility 2026, or SustainBiz 2026.

Held under the theme, “Fostering Green Innovation through Accountable Leadership and Strategic Management,” this year’s conference reflects our shared commitment to advancing responsible leadership, sustainable business practices, and innovative solutions to today’s environmental and societal challenges.

Taking place from 17 to 18 December 2026 in Bengaluru, India, SustainBiz 2026 is presented in a two-day hybrid format, connecting participants attending physically and online from around the world. This format enables us to broaden participation, encourage meaningful international engagement, and bring diverse perspectives into the sustainability conversation.

We are honoured to organise this conference in collaboration with NSB Bangalore and Einstein Research Academy, India, with ISBAT University, Uganda, as our co-organiser. This international partnership demonstrates the importance of cross-border cooperation in addressing sustainability challenges that no institution, industry, or country can solve alone.

In an era shaped by rapid technological advancement, environmental pressures, and evolving stakeholder expectations, sustainability and corporate responsibility are no longer optional. They have become essential foundations for organisational resilience, ethical leadership, and long-term success. Businesses must now deliver not only economic value but also meaningful benefits to society and the environment.

SustainBiz 2026 provides an important platform for global experts, scholars, industry leaders, policymakers, practitioners, and students to exchange knowledge, present cutting-edge research, and share innovative strategies and best practices. The conference will explore areas including sustainable business models, corporate social responsibility and ethics, environmental innovation, digital transformation for green management, multidisciplinary management models, and educational practices that promote sustainable business and management.

To all our keynote speakers, panellists, presenters, researchers, and participants, your expertise and perspectives are at the heart of this conference. I encourage everyone to participate actively, challenge conventional thinking, exchange practical insights, and establish meaningful professional connections throughout the programme.

Our goal is not simply to discuss sustainability but to translate knowledge into action. May the research, ideas, and collaborations emerging from SustainBiz 2026 inspire accountable leadership and practical solutions that create lasting impact within our organisations, industries, communities, and society.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to NSB Bangalore, Einstein Research Academy, ISBAT University, our co-organisers, sponsors, keynote speakers, panellists, presenters, participants, and everyone who has contributed to making SustainBiz 2026 possible.

Special appreciation goes to the organising committees from INTI International University and Einstein Research Academy, particularly Professor Dr. Asokan Vasudevan and Associate Professor Dr. Sinouvassane Djearamane, for their leadership, commitment, and tireless efforts in bringing this conference to fruition.

Together, let us foster green innovation, champion accountable leadership, and shape a more sustainable and responsible future.

Thank you, and I wish everyone a productive and inspiring SustainBiz 2026.
