Better Business

The response to the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Europe and the unprecedented financial and economic penalties against Russia have marked a watershed moment for business. The private sector is deeply enmeshed in the geopolitical context, working actively to resolve the economic fallout, meet humanitarian needs and resolve mounting pressure on global energy and food security. Corporate responsibility is changing. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards and metrics are more needed than ever as companies measure up to global challenges - including following through on the net-zero commitments that are more urgent than ever.

In this context, it's crucial for businesses, governments, and civil society to work together to find common solutions and take decisive action. Through its Centres, the World Economic Forum integrates public-private efforts to achieve greater impact.
