Context & objectives
The future is precarious. For people and for planet. The need for action is inescapable. And there’s no pathway towards any stable, sustainable future without companies changing.
WBA will convene a high-level event during the World Economic Forum in January 2026. This event will bring together business leaders, investors, civil society and governments to clarify the expectations for the private sector in how it can build resilience and lead positive change in an increasingly uncertain and complex world.
You will have the opportunity to witness first-hand the outcomes of our newly published assessments and rankings of the 2,000 most influential companies – spotlighting leadership, identifying best practices, revealing urgent gaps that need attention, and highlighting the priorities for building a stable and sustainable future.
You will also be among the first to gain insights from top company executives and other leading voices as they share what corporate responsibility means to them. How does taking the lead on sustainability enable innovation, strengthen brand value, mitigate risks, and provide new avenues for growth? What is it that they are doing that leads to resilience and positive change?
