Core Benefits of CBSR Membership 

Members get access to a broad range of organizational and professional development opportunities. Our annual membership fee is CAD12,500 – no matter how many of your team members participate. At just over $1,000 a month, CBSR membership practically pays for itself! 

Member Roundtables

Seven dynamic, knowledge-sharing sessions that bring members together to explore today’s most pressing sustainability challenges, from climate and reporting to human rights, biodiversity, and supply chain resilience. Each session features expert speakers, practical tools, and peer discussions to inspire real action.

CBSR Member Day

CBSR hosts a member-exclusive, in-person event that connects members with thought leaders and corporate innovators shaping the future of sustainability. While CBSR Member Day will not take place as part of GLOBE Forum in 2026, we are exploring new and impactful ways to bring members together for in-person learning, collaboration, peer-to-peer exchange, and networking.

Monthly Policy Briefs

Ten times a year, CBSR delivers concise insights on emerging policy, regulatory, and disclosure trends across Canada, the United States, and globally (paused in July and August). Each brief highlights what matters for your business and is archived in the Member Portal for easy year-round reference.

Peer Coaching Circles 

Small, cross-sector groups of four to six peers, matched by goals and experience. CBSR convenes the first meeting, and circles then self-organize to exchange ideas, challenges, and lessons learned, while building trusted professional connections.

Regional Meetups 

In-person gatherings that combine light programming, networking, and connection. These sessions celebrate member leadership, spotlight stories of progress, and bring together sustainability leaders from across regions.

Virtual Pop-ups 

Short, high-value virtual sessions on emerging issues, from new reporting standards to policy shifts. These rapid-response discussions help members stay ahead of change and share perspectives in real time.

Delphi Consulting Hours 

Access sustainability and climate expertise through CBSR’s long-standing partner, Delphi. Members receive a 10% discount on new or existing Delphi projects (up to the total value of their CBSR membership, 12,500 dollars).
