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

Truly insightful and inspirational! The content was meaningful, relevant and very well tailored to the Summit and its mission.

Having just returned to work from maternity leave, it was fantastic to attend an event where I could meet and share experiences with such a diverse group of women. The speakers were engaging and inspiring and provided plenty of food for thought.
