Mainstreaming Profit with Purpose
About the session
Corporate purpose continues to gain traction globally. Yet efforts often remain fragmented, keeping purpose at the margins rather than embedded across how companies actually operate.
Many initiatives still center on senior leadership, without fully translating into how decisions are made across teams, functions, and geographies. The challenge now is how to move from intention to implementation, ensuring that every corporate decision-maker brings a social impact lens to their work.
This session brings together a small group of senior corporate leaders and ecosystem actors to continue a conversation initiated at Davos 2026. Together, participants will reflect on what is working, where the main bottlenecks remain, and how the ecosystem can better align to embed impact across business decision making.
The focus will be on identifying practical actions that can be tested between now and the World Economic Forum 2027, as part of a broader set of global conversations shaping this agenda.
