Achieving
transformation
Corporate sustainability strategies are being formed under the pressure of a trifecta of forces. On the one hand, business leaders are reacting to regulatory requirements and growing awareness of ESG-related risks. On the other, shareholders and investors want to see the firms they own taking advantage of the changes brought about by the transition to a responsible and low-carbon economy. Too often, this results in ad hoc or short-term measures to meet immediate requirements. In reality, what is actually required is wholesale organizational transformation underpinned by a shared vision and new ways of working.
Managing change on this scale - and with so many moving parts - is no easy task.
Who is the summit for?
We will convene a diverse group of innovators with responsibility for strategy, finance, operations, supply chain, ESG, EHS, IT and compliance, as well as CSOs.
If you recognize any of these challenges then the Summit is for you:

Agenda
Our 2026 Transform Summit is designed to tackle these challenges head-on. Over the course of two days, we will bring together senior thought leaders from a range of industries and geographies to share ideas and tactics, discuss the most effective ways to deliver change, and explain how they tackle their biggest challenges. Most importantly, both our speaker faculty and our delegates will represent a range of different functions, each of which has a role to play in achieving transformation.

The Transform Awards are a celebration of excellence in sustainability and climate action. They recognize individuals and organizations that have demonstrated exceptional leadership in driving transformative change.

To help foster collaboration and build understanding we have designed a format that consists of expert panels that share cross-functional perspectives, roundtable discussions focused on specific challenges, analyst-led sessions that share Verdantix’s proprietary research (including two reports which will be launched live at the event), and spotlight presentations by leading technologists.
