The loss of biodiversity threatens the very foundations of our society, posing risks to food security, our health and businesses. In order to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030, the nature and climate crisis have to be addressed together.
Unlocking corporate projects throughout the value chains will be essential to help deliver an equitable, net-zero, nature-positive world. However, working with nature to help meet corporate climate goals or mitigate other risks in the value chain is still largely uncharted territory for many businesses and their senior leadership teams.
This session will examine the biodiversity challenges and opportunities and will present various initiatives and approaches to show how Nature-based Solutions can help solve multiple challenges. Learn more.

Business schools have an extraordinary opportunity and obligation to reflect on their own practices and ensure they educate socially responsible leaders. They are coming under growing pressure from students, employers and faculty alike to enhance their focus on responsible business education in their teaching, research and operations. For example, schools are being criticised for curriculum content that is still based around the ‘shareholder primacy’ model and the pursuit of short-term returns rather than the long-term strategies needed to address issues such as inequality or climate change.

Rising food prices and accelerating climate change continue to put millions of lives at risk of hunger and malnutrition, reinforcing the urgency of the UN Food Systems Summit’s agenda to transform food systems in ways that contribute to people’s nutrition, health and well-being, whilst providing decent jobs and inclusive economies. This event will shine a light on the vital role that local millers – food processors – can play to advance this agenda, especially for the most vulnerable, through the fortification of commonly consumed foods with essential micronutrients, which is a proven and effective public health nutrition intervention.

Two-thirds of businesses worldwide are family-owned or managed, employing 60-70% of the workforce, and generating 70-90% of global GDP.
After decades of being hidden and happy, business families are starting to embrace the new age of transparency and become more visible. As society becomes more polarized on key issues such as social equity and climate change, families are also looking for the right path forward for both their business and their future legacy. How they find the way to bridge the gap on these topics across generations will largely determine their future success.
The session will feature family business leaders who have embarked on ambitious programs and investments to leverage their assets and business to bring impactful and regenerative solutions. Learn more.

2023 will see us half way through the timeline of the 2030 Global Goals – the SDGs. Yet we are not nearly there in terms of achieving the Goals despite them being the road map to solve some of the most pressing social issues of our time.
The world is now facing a new set of challenges which were not upfront and centre in 2015 – an economic crisis, the energy crisis, COVID-19, war in Ukraine, increases in social unrest…… As we wrestle with the impact of all that is facing us, do we have time or energy to focus on the acceleration of the goals and crucially do we have funding to invest in achieving the goals. Funding for social good is all very well during times of economic stability but during times of crisis, is Shareholder value more important then Stakeholder value?
We think that the world is in a difficult place right now – and certainly for the foreseeable. But what is the impact if we take our feet “off the gas” from achieving the SDGs both from an economic model and a social impact model? Learn more.

While the investor community is coming to terms with the idea that generating social and environmental returns can be good for business in the long run, the limits of ESG funds are being demonstrated as regulators clue-up and greenwashers are punished. As such, seeking real impact is of growing concern, as made evident by the multitude of funds, advisors, researchers, and bankers who propose many different ways into impact investing. This panel convenes stakeholders from different streams of impact. Given our common agenda to fund businesses that do good, can we find common ground in impact investing? Learn more.

If “sustainable development” is the goal, regeneration has to become the social norm. Huge harm done to ecosystems and clear fractures between humans need to be addressed. The reinvention of organisations, including businesses, is critical for that purpose. The current framework fosters short-term profits and competitive growth at all costs.
The dissonance between how success is defined and what needs to be done for regeneration is clearly perceived by many professionals and decision-makers. It leads to frustration, possibly to cynicism and often to individualistic behaviours. But this dissonance can also fuel an explosion of positive energy when we recognise that the “politically correct” is not living up to the expectations.
Making possible the reinvention of human organisations requires more than technical approaches. This session will inquire into the conditions for the co-creation of regenerative business to become possible, viable and widespread. It certainly starts with the mobilisation of hearts and minds, until what seems impossible becomes inevitable. Learn more.

New ESG requirements in national and supranational legislations force businesses to focus on measuring and reporting on their activities. While the new reporting requirements put sustainability higher on the agenda, they also create a paradox where reporting correctly seems to be as important as doing the right thing. We pose the question: Is increasing reporting enabling greenwashing or driving real action?
The “decade of action” is further unsettled by a series of consecutive crises. In this context, cooperation between sectors remains vital to achieve common objectives. Yet companies and civil society are not set up to work together effectively. Our session in Davos will look at the core of goal 17 (partnerships for the goals) and raise the question of what the best models are for cooperation in order to achieve sustainable progress.

Numerous world leaders have made a commitment to universal health coverage (UHC)—i.e., the provision of healthcare for all—by 2030. Attaining this goal is particularly critical in developing countries so that individuals and communities can access healthcare services without fear of catastrophic financial repercussions. The topic of UHC encompasses a number of issues, including healthcare financing, and cooperation between government and the private sector.
This panel will focus on emerging market countries at different stages of development with regard to their UHC programs. Indonesia, Kenya and India have made significant strides toward the UHC goal. At the same time, however, critical challenges remain. We will assemble a panel of experts to understand the progress achieved, lessons learned, and remaining challenges toward the 2030 goal, such as the use of public financing, structuring effective collaborations with the private sector, and improving quality of care.

Royal DSM invites you to a high-level discussion on the future of animal farming. With the global population predicted to reach nearly 10 billion people by 2050, the demand for animal-based protein is expected to increase by around 70%. To keep the production of animal proteins within planetary boundaries, we need to make rapid, sustainable changes to methods of production, for instance by increasing efficiency, reducing land use, and cutting down greenhouse gas emissions.
Join us for an interactive session where we will explore various solutions to the protein dilemma, including more sustainable farming, innovation technology, and emissions reduction. Learn more.

The financial and accounting systems that underpin our economy focus on short term financial outcomes and do not adequately reflect the dependency of our economic success on the health and stability of our communities and the natural environment.
Companies, investors and governments are recognising that long term sustainable performance relies on an understanding of the interdependency between financial, social, human and natural capitals. Action and leadership is needed to drive change so that sustainability becomes embedded in organizations’ strategy, operations and reporting.
Experts from accounting and finance (CFOs, the global accounting community, investors, policymakers, business schools) will discuss how to better harness finance for the good of people and the planet. This session will provide guidance and convene senior leadership to inspire action, transform decision making and scale up, and showcase best practices. Learn more.

The circular economy is fast emerging globally, as companies and governments increasingly recognize its potential to tackle the root causes of climate change and other global challenges while generating new and better growth opportunities. As no one manages this shift alone, new ways of collaboration and, in particular, private-public partnerships are key. In the past five years, many countries have launched circular economy reporting initiatives to showcase their industries and necessary shift to circularity. The Circularity Gap Report shows the power of the circular economy to fullfill our needs equitably but with radically fewer materials and emissions.
This session will showcase new models and instruments led by Swiss-based actors to accelerate the circular economy transition through an interactive cross-sector discussion and pitches of circular economy solutions and initiatives. At the same time, the hosts will call Swiss actors to action in co-creating the first circular roadmap for Switzerland. Learn more.

The Global COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted to the world the interconnectedness of human, environmental and animal health, as well as the growing political, and business risk of overlooking these intricate and complex interrelations. One Health recognizes the strong connections between human health, ecosystem health, and animal health. Its importance is currently shown by the accelerated emergence or re-emergence of diseases over the last few decades. Before the 20th century, global pandemics occurred on average every 100 years. This frequency is currently accelerating: in the last 30 years, it is easy to see that COVID-19 is just the most recent example in a relatively long and daunting list of emerging or re-emerging diseases (e.g., Zika, Ebola, H5N1, H1N1). We are clearly within the era of emergence. Until now, our approach has always been the same: we wait for the epidemics or pandemics to occur and then we try to control them, often in crisis situations and with variable success.
As a systemic movement designed to maximize public health outcomes, One Health is foreseen to change the business landscape in the years to come. This event will discuss One Health’s role in solving critical global health challenges with concrete examples of initiatives showing how businesses are increasingly embracing a more holistic approach toward health issues.

Biodiversity credit markets are on the rise, with a remarkable array of related initiatives on display at COP15 in Montreal. Considering recent carbon market experience, there is both considerable enthusiasm for the potential for biodiversity credit markets to generate finance for nature and concern that they might develop in ways that prove damaging to nature and inequitable in their economic impact. In bridging potential and concern, growing attention is being paid to the all-important definitions of biodiversity credits and their verifiability, including the use of standard certification approaches and digital platforms such as blockchain to ensure robust traceability. Beyond this, the need for high integrity credit markets is generating debate, design and advocacy for broader governance innovations, ranging from proposals for high level principles to radical disclosure, regulatory arrangements, and new legal frameworks.

Just like how airbags in cars have revolutionized how we approach cars, the next generation of nuclear fuel can completely change how people imagine the future of nuclear energy. Many believe the next generation of nuclear fuels can steer the nuclear industry into a safer, more affordable, and more climate-friendly future. However, if these new technologies are to reach commercial viability, public-private partnerships will be crucial.
In this special broadcast from Davos, we speak to Seth Grae, CEO of Lightbridge Corporation. A company that just announced a strategic partnership with Idaho National Laboratory to start testing its next-generation nuclear fuel.

The combined loss of nature and climate change is threatening our health, our wellbeing, our societies and our economies. It is no longer a theory or a distant risk but something that is happening right here and now. The recent COP15 Kunming-Montreal Agreement commits the world to halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030. This must be the launch pad for action from governments, business, and society to transition towards a nature-positive world.
The ‘Nature Positive Dinner’ at Davos 2023 aims to be the impetus for the bold, wide-ranging and urgent action required to deliver a nature-positive world. We will dive into detail about how we can all contribute towards delivering the vision of more nature in 2030 than we had in 2020 through protection, restoration and sustainable use, and how to finance such a globally important and critical transition. Action towards a nature-positive future must be swift and bold. We must all double down on nature-positive action as we move from discussion and negotiation to implementation, action and, most importantly, finance this delivery. Learn more.

NOAH and The HUS.insitute are hosting a private lunch for the company in this session from Davos during WEF.
The CEO of Skydweller, Robert Miller, will present his company and plans to a small and selected group of investors. The Skydweller plane is born from the famous Solar Impulse project by Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg. They completed the first ever round-the-world solar flight successfully in July 2016. Today, its use is multiple. Thanks to its solar energy and auto pilot, the plane can operate at lowest industry costs and stay in the sky permanently. Skydweller is an attractive alternative to telco towers to increase reach and quality of service in non metropolitan areas. Current revenues are from government for surveillance. The interest of the telecom industry is manifested by strong interest in countries like Brazil and several countries in Africa. Further important use cases are in the remote sensing field, providing an unmatched impact measurement for the carbon credit industry and decision support for agro-forestry and agriculture sector. Skydweller is a key data provider to the Nature Data Alliance, a network of 100 nature tech firms, enabling large scale environmental projects with continuous monitoring. The company is raising up to $100 million to kick start its serial production in Italy.

This session will profile businesses who are applying an integrated approach through the ACT-D framework of Assess, Commit, Transform and Disclose, proving that it is not an alphabet soup, but a language that we can all learn.
ACT-D was launched at the SDG tent in May 2022 and this session will show how it has been used to connect tools such as the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosure, Natural and Social Capital Protocols, and Science Based Targets. By the time of this event, we will also know if COP15 has succeeded in making the assessment and disclosure of impacts and dependencies mandatory or not. Business for Nature will provide a review of what this means and the implications for business. There will also be an update on the Value Commission, also launched here in 2022, which is guiding the development of an open access valuation database, and the participants will be the first to see the advances in integrating nature, people, society and economy in the new Integrated Capitals Protocol.

CEOs and board members are increasingly expected to lead the change and contribute to a more sustainable economy. This requires making different corporate decisions. Few levers are more effective at guiding a corporation’s behaviour than the financial incentives offered to its CEO and other executives. With corporate activities impacting billions of lives, executive remuneration has a critical role to play in the transition to a sustainable economy. The alignment of purpose, practice, profit, and pay is a key contributor to the change for good. Global principles of responsible remuneration will support businesses to accelerate change. To this end, and to advance the UN Global Compact SDGs, Reward Value together with InTent is launching the Principles of Responsible Remuneration (PRR). Information on the principles and how companies can activate them will be shared during the event. Learn more.

Just like how airbags in cars have revolutionized how we approach cars, the next generation of nuclear fuel can completely change how people imagine the future of nuclear energy. Many believe the next generation of nuclear fuels can steer the nuclear industry into a safer, more affordable, and more climate-friendly future. However, if these new technologies are to reach commercial viability, public-private partnerships will be crucial.
In this special broadcast from Davos, we speak to Seth Grae, CEO of Lightbridge Corporation. A company that just announced a strategic partnership with Idaho National Laboratory to start testing its next-generation nuclear fuel.

The combined loss of nature and climate change is threatening our health, our wellbeing, our societies and our economies. It is no longer a theory or a distant risk but something that is happening right here and now. The recent COP15 Kunming-Montreal Agreement commits the world to halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030. This must be the launch pad for action from governments, business, and society to transition towards a nature-positive world.
The ‘Nature Positive Dinner’ at Davos 2023 aims to be the impetus for the bold, wide-ranging and urgent action required to deliver a nature-positive world. We will dive into detail about how we can all contribute towards delivering the vision of more nature in 2030 than we had in 2020 through protection, restoration and sustainable use, and how to finance such a globally important and critical transition. Action towards a nature-positive future must be swift and bold. We must all double down on nature-positive action as we move from discussion and negotiation to implementation, action and, most importantly, finance this delivery. Learn more.

The CEO of Skydweller, Robert Miller, will present his company and plans to a small and selected group of investors. The Skydweller plane is born from the famous Solar Impulse project by Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg. They completed the first ever round-the-world solar flight successfully in July 2016. Today, its use is multiple. Thanks to its solar energy and auto pilot, the plane can operate at lowest industry costs and stay in the sky permanently. Skydweller is an attractive alternative to telco towers to increase reach and quality of service in non metropolitan areas. Current revenues are from government for surveillance. The interest of the telecom industry is manifested by strong interest in countries like Brazil and several countries in Africa. Further important use cases are in the remote sensing field, providing an unmatched impact measurement for the carbon credit industry and decision support for agro-forestry and agriculture sector. Skydweller is a key data provider to the Nature Data Alliance, a network of 100 nature tech firms, enabling large scale environmental projects with continuous monitoring. The company is raising up to $100 million to kick start its serial production in Italy.

This session will profile businesses who are applying an integrated approach through the ACT-D framework of Assess, Commit, Transform and Disclose, proving that it is not an alphabet soup, but a language that we can all learn.
ACT-D was launched at the SDG tent in May 2022 and this session will show how it has been used to connect tools such as the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosure, Natural and Social Capital Protocols, and Science Based Targets. By the time of this event, we will also know if COP15 has succeeded in making the assessment and disclosure of impacts and dependencies mandatory or not. Business for Nature will provide a review of what this means and the implications for business. There will also be an update on the Value Commission, also launched here in 2022, which is guiding the development of an open access valuation database, and the participants will be the first to see the advances in integrating nature, people, society and economy in the new Integrated Capitals Protocol.

CEOs and board members are increasingly expected to lead the change and contribute to a more sustainable economy. This requires making different corporate decisions. Few levers are more effective at guiding a corporation’s behaviour than the financial incentives offered to its CEO and other executives. With corporate activities impacting billions of lives, executive remuneration has a critical role to play in the transition to a sustainable economy. The alignment of purpose, practice, profit, and pay is a key contributor to the change for good. Global principles of responsible remuneration will support businesses to accelerate change. To this end, and to advance the UN Global Compact SDGs, Reward Value together with InTent is launching the Principles of Responsible Remuneration (PRR). Information on the principles and how companies can activate them will be shared during the event. Learn more.
