World Sustainable Contracting Hub

GLOBAL | ONLINE | FREE TO ALL

 

Join us in Shaping the Future of Sustainable Contracting!

With the world navigating unprecedented regulatory changes, the focus on sustainable contracting has never been more critical.

From One Day of Inspiration to a Year of Impact

The World Sustainable Contracting Hub (WSCH) is the next evolution of World Sustainable Contracting Day (WSCD). Connecting global professionals, partners, and innovators who are driving sustainability through better contracts.

For four years, WSCD inspired thousands through one powerful day of dialogue. In 2026, we expand that vision into a year-round digital community, with eight high-impact sessions culminating in our global celebration, World Sustainable Contracting Day, 12 & 13 May 2026.

What’s New in 2026
Instead of a single day of discussion, we’re creating a living, connected learning experience, building momentum, sharing insights, and delivering measurable impact all year long.

The World Sustainable Contracting Hub offers:

  • Eight live sessions: Global webinars, workshops, and case clinics throughout the year.
  • Regional focus: APAC, EMEA, and Americas spotlights across key sessions.
  • On-demand access: Watch anytime, anywhere, with takeaways and tools.
  • Partner collaboration: Co-created sessions and shared visibility.
  • Uniting our global community: Join us for two regional broadcasts, as we celebrate our annual World Sustainable Contracting Day #WSCD, 12-13 May.


All sessions are free to attend and closed captions are available in 11 languages. Receive a total of 4 CPD points that count towards WorldCC certification.
