From Carbon Data to Carbon Action with EcoVadis
Join EcoVadis and Kearney for a first look inside the newly released Carbon Action Report 2026, released just days earlier. The report examines how corporate climate commitments are translating into measurable action across global value chains, and where progress is stalling.
Pierre-François Thaler, Dexter Galvin and Angela Hultberg present what the data shows about supplier climate progress, then unpack what separates the companies delivering reductions from those still stuck at target-setting. Interactive discussion and open Q&A follow, so bring the problem you are actually stuck on.
Key Takeaways
Discover what the latest data reveals about supplier climate progress, why many organizations remain stuck between commitments and measurable action, and what leading companies are doing differently to accelerate value-chain decarbonization. The session will offer practical insights from EcoVadis and Kearney on turning carbon data into meaningful action-and give participants the opportunity to explore their own challenges through discussion and Q&A.

Setting the Pace: The CSO Perspective. What’s driving, and delaying, corporate climate action? with Climate Impact Partners
What’s driving, and delaying, corporate climate action?
Earlier this year, Climate Impact Partners' Setting the Pace: Carbon Credits and Climate Leadership in the Fortune Global 500 report showed that climate ambition is becoming mainstream, with more companies setting targets and integrating carbon credits into their climate strategies.
Now we're going behind the data.
Combining insights from a new survey of CSOs with a live discussion featuring sustainability leaders, this session explores what's driving climate action, what's slowing progress, and how carbon markets fit into the journey from commitment to delivery.

Framing the value of sustainability investments for the board and fellow executives with Sphera
Every sustainability leader has experienced the moment: You walk into the boardroom with the data, the plan, the risks and the opportunity, only to leave wondering whether your projects will receive funding. The challenge isn't your strategy, it's how you frame its value.

From Footprint to Action: Closing the Sustainability Execution Gap with SAP
Most organizations can measure their sustainability footprint. Far fewer have made it part of how they actually run the business.
This workshop closes that gap. Through structured peer discussion and real-world scenarios, participants will explore what it looks like when carbon, energy, water and waste data steps living in a reporting tool and starts flowing into the systems where decisions are made – procurement, finance, and operations.
We'll work through three practical use cases for leveraging carbon, energy, water, and waste insights to drive a sustainable business.
Using sustainability metrics alongside cost and spend as a supplier selection criteria;
Embedding real-time enterprise and sustainability data to continuously improve operations and manage cost exposure;
Applying AI to break down data silos and accelerate sustainability decision-making across the organization.
