What Comes After ESG? Rethinking Responsibility, Results and Relevance

As scrutiny around ESG intensifies, the question is no longer whether businesses should engage, but how they must evolve. This session explores how sustainability is transforming leadership, business value, and public expectations. From corporate strategy to public policy, the discussion will examine how to move beyond ESG compliance toward meaningful, measurable impact — and what this shift means for the future of responsible business. Are we looking at a redefinition of ESG’s role in our economies? Will the current fragmentation be a long-term setback or a short-term slowdown? What evolutions can we expect for ESG measurements and corporate responsibility? At the end of the day, what does it mean to be a responsible company? And will environmental accountability still drive business value tomorrow?
