Why Attend

Corporate leaders come to Harvard University’s SHINE Summit to learn from and network with influential thought leaders and visionary scientists – a highly curated group from across disciplines – who share the latest research findings, frameworks and strategies for corporate well-being and sustainability practices.    
 
SHINE Summit attendees represent a dynamic mix of senior executives from across Human Resources, Employee Well-being, Social Responsibility & Social Impact, EHS and Sustainability, Compliance, Labor & Human Rights, Supply Chain, ESG & Responsible Investing, and Transformation & Innovation who are excited about common purpose, business as a platform for social change and the opportunity to share ideas openly in a focused, intimate setting. 

In line with SHINE’s holistic, collaborative approach, we encourage colleagues from across departments to register and offer discounted group rates to faciliate that.

Here’s what attendees have to say about the SHINE Summit:
