Staying on Course for Climate Action
Watch live on May 25th at 17:30 CET as BCG's CEO, Christoph Schweizer, joins an official WEF panel to discuss the global imperatives for government and business to reach climate goals.
We at BCG are honored to send a delegation—led by our CEO, Christoph Schweizer—to join public and private leaders at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in May 2022 in Davos to address global societal and business challenges.
This year’s theme, “History at a Turning Point: Government Policies and Business Strategies,” is a response to the war in Ukraine, the resulting humanitarian tragedies, and the ongoing global pandemic. Leaders are currently being called on to respond to urgent humanitarian and security needs while simultaneously addressing persistent global issues such as inequality and climate change. Despite these challenges, we firmly believe in the power of unlocking the potential of those who advance the world. In this vein, we’re looking forward to joining leading experts from business, society, and government to work toward solutions that improve livelihoods and shape a more sustainable future.
Our experts are looking forward to diving deep into conversations with fellow thinkers and leaders to discuss, among other topics, artificial intelligence and climate and sustainability—critical forces that will continue to influence policymaking and business strategy in the years ahead.

BCG's Global Chair Rich Lesser shares what's top of mind for leaders in Davos this week.
Trust is critical in the age of stakeholder capitalism. But it remains elusive. BCG's Vaishali Rastogi and Marcos Aguiar discuss BCG's first Global Trust Index, which leverages AI to help business leaders devise strategies for improving trust at their companies.
Connectivity has become a conduit to information, communication, education, and societal well-being. BCG has teamed up with the WEF and UNDP to help ensure that everyone has access to these benefits.
Here are five ways to ensure individuals from all levels of society can easily move around cities.
Our CEO, Christoph Schweizer, will lead BCG’s delegation at Davos. Prior to assuming his current role, Christoph served as BCG’s chairman for Central and Eastern Europe and the Middle East. He has also served as a member of the firm's Executive and Operating Committees since 2014. Christoph’s interest in artificial intelligence and climate and sustainability—as well as his thoughts on leadership amid today’s uncertainty—are sure to be key drivers of conversation.
The public and private sectors must work together to find a global path to net zero. Businesses can’t afford to ignore this imperative or overlook the opportunity it entails.
Achieving ESG goals and building sustainability as a competitive advantage requires integrating technology and data from the beginning.
The race to net-zero emissions will forever change the way many companies do business. The immediacy, pace, and extent of change are still widely underestimated. Early movers can seize significant advantage. This report shows how.
Even companies with modest direct-emissions footprints can make a global impact on decarbonization by implementing nine initiatives in their supply chains.
Efforts by companies to transform their business to become truly sustainable will disrupt industries and yield new growth opportunities. But successful transformations won’t be easy.
Those who can scale this technology will build substantial competitive advantage in the years ahead. But leaders must invest equally in human capabilities—and find ways to bring out the best of man and machine.
A new study by GAMMA, BHI, and MIT-SMR suggests a counterintuitive key to morale and organizational effectiveness: robots.
An in-depth analysis of the US, Germany, and Australia shows how technology will disrupt labor markets by 2030—displacing millions of workers but creating new opportunities as well.
If business wants to use AI at scale, adhering to the technical guidelines for responsible AI development isn’t enough. It must obtain society’s explicit approval to deploy the technology.
Given its ever-expanding application, AI may soon be more than just a way to gain a competitive edge. While unlocking the full power of AI is no easy task, it’s an essential one for surviving and thriving now and in the years ahead.
BCG is proud to partner with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to shape public and private agendas and drive sustainable positive impact. Our shared goal is to engage stakeholders and improve business and government outcomes on a global scale. Current collaborations include:
