Sustainability Leadership Perspectives: How the Sustainability Agenda Is Evolving

Six months ago, we spoke with more than 300 Chief Sustainability Officers and ESG leaders across industries to understand the state of the sustainability transformation. Their message was clear: despite growing economic pressures, geopolitical uncertainty, and regulatory adjustments, sustainability remains a strategic priority.

Now, half a year later, the debate is evolving. Where have priorities shifted? How are organizations balancing compliance, competitiveness, and value creation? And what role do efficiency, digitalization, and AI play in shaping the next phase of sustainability management?

Join us as we revisit the key findings of the Horváth CSO Study 2026, reflect on recent developments, and discuss where sustainability leadership is heading next.

We are looking forward to your participation!
