The Global CSR Forum 2026
About the event
The Global CSR Forum returns to Riyadh for its second edition on 5 and 6 October 2026 at the Sofitel Riyadh Hotel and Convention Centre, held under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and organised by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development under the theme From Commitment to Impact.
The programme rests on six strategic pillars: Strategy and Integration; Climate, Nature and the Just Transition; People, Talent and Social Impact; Responsible Innovation; Digital Transformation and Corporate Responsibility; and Governance, Trust and Standards. Sessions are spread across three stages: the Global CSR Plenary for keynotes, ministerial interventions and panel discussions; the CSR Impact Stage for expert-led masterclasses; and the CSR Standards Stage for moderated conversations on shared challenges and best practice. It addresses C-suite executives, government leaders, regulators, standards bodies, institutional investors, academics and civil society, and the organiser states more than 3,000 participants and 100 speakers from over 30 countries across more than 40 sessions.
Attendance is by prior registration through the forum's registration platform, and the organiser has not announced an entry fee. The programme is accompanied by the CSR Awards Ceremony, which recognises companies working in the Kingdom that have turned commitment into measurable impact, alongside strategic roundtables, interactive workshops and networking across the two days.
