2023 Agenda: Corporates to the rescue?

This year, we focus on the critical role that major businesses are playing in driving both ambition and action to tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges. As international political systems struggle with the weight of multiple global crises, we consider how, according to the 2023 Edelman Trust Report, business is now ‘the sole institution seen as competent and ethical’. Which companies are shaping the world for good? Whose inspiring us? How can we get involved? And how do we call out toxic behaviour and influence harmful practices where they still exist?

Get inspired

A day which had true impact. and showed me how to throw the shackles off. The WOF mantra of do everything with kindness is invaluable. We're not going anywhere alone, and we sometimes forget that.

The insights shared during the event were a perfect mix of inspiring and practical. I came away with a notebook full of tips and ideas that I can't wait to put into practice in the workplace.
