PillarThe Forum maintained its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions over the reporting
period. Scope 3 emissions, primarily from the flights and travel of Forum constituents and stakeholders
to events, continued to comprise the majority of its total carbon footprint. To address this, the Forum
further encouraged travel to events by train and optimized transport and use of materials.
In its efforts to reduce waste, the Forum extended its partnership with local organization GreenUp
for the fifth year, collaborating during its Annual Meeting on the GreenShare circular economy initiative.
This project repurposes materials to minimize waste and promote sustainable practices.
The Forum also increased its procurement of carbon removal credits, aligning purchases with
its emissions profile and reinforcing its commitment to the UN Global Compact. In addition,
a comprehensive review of the current sustainability strategy was initiated to identify new opportunities
for enhancing environmental performance.
Externally, the Forum continued to mobilize its platform and convening power to support high-impact
initiatives in nature conservation, climate resilience, economic transformation and technology. This
included championing sustainable aviation fuel initiatives and other projects aimed at accelerating the
transition to a low-carbon economy.
Value creation remains central to the Forum’s mission. During the reporting period, the Forum
continued to drive significant economic and societal impact through its centres, initiatives and global
convenings, facilitating collaboration among experts, civil society, and political and business leaders
to advance socioeconomic progress.
The Forum’s commitment to public access to its events and session insights was evident through its
Open Forum sessions and extensive access via digital platforms. In 2025, more than 220 sessions
from the Annual Meeting were livestreamed to the public.
