2020 Virtual
Leaders on Purpose CEO Summit
#PurposeFirstEconomy
Overview
The Third Annual Leaders on Purpose CEO Summit brought together the world’s top thought leaders, business visionaries, multilateral leaders, Academics, and CEOs.
Created by leaders for leaders, this exclusive event accelerated a new kind of leadership at the forefront of the new business logic in a post COVID world, integrating purpose and profit.
2020’s Leaders on Purpose summit focused on creating a shared vision in response to the COVID 19 pandemic. The online talks, workshops, and discussions were informed by findings from the 2020 CEO Study, which focused in turn on ‘build it better’ strategies and a roadmap towards the purpose first economy.
The summit is a powerful platform where shared learnings, cross-sectoral engagement, and research insights converge to drive change, delivered through proactive collaboration to enable scalable impact.
This invitation-only summit is the first of its kind and the first of a series in alignment with the decade of action. The agenda has been co-created by CEOs for CEOs in collaboration with UN Leadership, the science community, and other global stakeholders and informed by the Leaders on Purpose CEO Study.
In this important event, we set in motion strategic alignment around the shared goal of multiple stakeholders to enable businesses to transition towards the purpose-first business logic in 2030. Designed as an outcome-oriented event, it was one of the most insightful and impactful gatherings of 2020.
Over 70 invitation-only speakers & panelists include:
Henrietta Fore (Executive Director UNICEF), Olga Algayerová (Executive Secretary UNECE), Emmanuel Faber (CEO Danone), Jesper Brodin (CEO IKEA), Alan Jope (CEO Unilever), Feike Sijbesma (Honorary Chairman DSM), Anand Mahindra (Chairman Mahindra & Mahindra), Barbara Humpton (CEO Siemens U.S.), Dylan Taylor (CEO Voyager Space Holdings) and many more.
