LONDON, United Kingdom — As thousands of leaders from government, business, finance, and civil society gather across the British capital for this week’s London Climate Action Week (LCAW), one of the signature convenings helping shape the global sustainability conversation is making its official debut on one of climate diplomacy’s biggest stages: Sustainability LIVE @ London Climate Action Week – The Leadership Summit.
Behind the event is Glen White, Founder and CEO of BizClik, whose vision has quietly transformed a digital media company into one of the world’s fastest-growing communities for sustainability executives. This week, that journey reaches a new milestone as Sustainability LIVE takes its place within London Climate Action Week, Europe’s largest independent climate gathering and one of the most influential moments on the international climate calendar.
For White, the summit’s arrival at LCAW represents years of deliberate institution-building.
Building More Than an Event
Long before sustainability became a boardroom imperative, Glen White recognized an emerging challenge: senior executives needed more than information. They needed trusted communities, practical insights, and meaningful connections capable of accelerating real-world action.
Through BizClik and its flagship publication, Sustainability Magazine, White set out to create platforms that could convene decision-makers across industries and geographies. What began as a media venture steadily evolved into an ecosystem of executive engagement spanning digital content, research, thought leadership, and live experiences.
Under White’s leadership, Sustainability LIVE expanded into a global event series, hosting gatherings across London, New York, Chicago, and other major markets. Along the way, it became a destination for chief sustainability officers, corporate leaders, policymakers, investors, and innovators seeking practical pathways toward decarbonization, supply chain resilience, sustainable finance, and nature-positive growth.
The Road to London Climate Action Week
This week’s one-day summit at CodeNode in London represents another evolution in that journey.
London Climate Action Week now attracts more than 75,000 participants across over 1,000 events, serving as one of the world’s most important moments between annual UN climate conferences. It is where ideas are tested, partnerships are forged, and implementation pathways emerge ahead of major global negotiations.
By bringing Sustainability LIVE into the heart of LCAW, White has positioned the platform precisely where corporate sustainability strategy increasingly intersects with public policy, finance, and international cooperation.
The event features more than 25 expert speakers and executive workshops examining the future of sustainable supply chains, climate investment, AI and sustainability, nature-based solutions, and business transformation. Senior leaders from companies including PepsiCo, HSBC, eBay, IFS, and RELX are among those participating in the discussions.
A Community Built for Implementation
Glen White has often emphasized that sustainability leadership is entering a new phase—one that demands execution rather than aspiration.
That philosophy has increasingly shaped Sustainability LIVE’s identity. In 2026, BizClik formally unified Sustainability LIVE and Sustainability Magazine under a single visual and strategic identity, reinforcing their shared mission of bringing together the world’s sustainability leaders around practical solutions and measurable impact.
The approach reflects a broader shift occurring across the sustainability landscape. Businesses today are navigating increasingly complex regulatory environments, investor expectations, supply chain pressures, and demands for credible climate action. The challenge is no longer simply making commitments. It is implementing them.
That need for implementation has made convening power increasingly valuable.
In many ways, Sustainability LIVE’s success mirrors White’s own leadership philosophy: create trusted spaces where diverse stakeholders can engage honestly, learn from one another, and accelerate progress together.
Looking Ahead
As extreme heat across Europe provides an unmistakable reminder of the urgency of climate action this week, conversations taking place throughout London carry particular significance. They are not merely conferences. They are working sessions for the future of the global economy.
For Glen White, Sustainability LIVE’s debut at London Climate Action Week is both an arrival and a beginning.
It represents the culmination of years spent building one of the sustainability sector’s most influential executive communities. But it also signals a larger ambition: creating platforms capable of convening leaders not simply to discuss sustainability, but to implement it.
At a time when the world increasingly needs institutions that can bridge sectors, inspire collaboration, and convert ambition into action, Sustainability LIVE’s journey from media platform to globally recognized convening demonstrates the growing importance of leadership communities designed for execution.
And this week in London, Glen White’s vision is taking its place on one of climate action’s biggest stages.
