Riyadh will host the second Global CSR Forum on 5–6 October 2026, with more than 3,000 participants and 100 speakers expected at the Sofitel Riyadh Hotel & Convention Centre.
Hosted by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development under the patronage of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the two-day forum will run under the theme “From Commitment to Impact.” Its programme will include more than 40 sessions focused on turning corporate social responsibility commitments into measurable results.
The event will bring together executives, government leaders, regulators, standards bodies, institutional investors, academics and civil society representatives. Sessions will include keynotes, ministerial discussions, panels and masterclasses covering implementation, progress measurement and cross-sector collaboration.
According to the announcement, the forum reflects Saudi Arabia’s efforts under Vision 2030 to expand corporate engagement with sustainability and social responsibility. The Kingdom’s Social Responsibility Index ranking rose from 41st globally in 2021 to 16th in 2024, it said.
