In 2026, sustainability is no longer a matter of values or a reporting exercise: it has become a structural driver of global competitiveness. Companies are operating at the centre of a transformation shaped by regulatory pressure, geopolitical instability, the energy transition, digitalisation, and increasing social expectations.
In this context, the greatest risk is not non-compliance, but rather adopting a form of sustainability reduced to a box-ticking exercise, unable to generate real value.
This event will give participants the opportunity to engage with business leaders, experts, and academics on the strategic priorities that will define sustainability in 2026 and in the decade ahead, in order to leverage the competitive advantages of the green transition within the global economy.

In particular, the following themes will be explored:

• leadership and governance in the sustainable transition: decision-making capabilities, managing uncertainty, and new corporate responsibilities in a highly disruptive environment
• sustainability as a driver of economic and financial value: from value creation for investors and companies to the systemic risk of abandoning it as a growth engine
• technology and innovation as accelerators of the transition: from sustainable energy to digital platforms, technology as a driver of scalable impact and responsible growth
• from commitment to action – rules, transparency and execution: CSRD, CSDDD, supply chains, due diligence and delivery as the keys to real transformation.
