What’s Next for Corporate Sustainability in a World of Competing Pressures?

Today’s business leaders are navigating a clear duality: anticipation of what’s possible and unpredictability about what lies ahead.

Even so, rather than slowing down, we expect companies to advance their sustainability ambitions in 2026, both as a counterweight to uncertainty and as a performance catalyst.

Join our ERM leaders in conversation, as they distill four trends we believe will drive the sustainability agenda in 2026:

  1. Sustainability that pays: How are companies turning sustainability actions into measurable financial value?
  2. Energy conundrums: What energy strategies will companies need to stay competitive and resilient as demand grows and infrastructure is stretched?
  3. Sustainability meets the digital era: How will data‑center growth, AI, and digitalization change what companies deliver operationally and environmentally?
  4. EHS transformation: How can AI, centralized data, and improved resourcing help EHS become a core value driver, beyond compliance?
