    World Economic Forum – The 50th Annual Meeting in Davos 2020

    By Laura Brüggen | Blog, News | 0 comment | 30 January, 2020 | 0

    For the past 50 years, the World Economic Forum (hereafter WEF) Annual Meeting has had one guiding vision: To be the trusted space for leaders from across all sectors of society in order to build a more cohesive and sustainable world. Accordingly, the meeting functions as a platform facilitating private- and public-sector collaboration (1).

    Overview

    The #WEF20 encompasses 7 key themes that were addressed during the Annual Meeting:

    1. Healthy Futures
    2. How to Save the Planet
    3. Society & Future of Work
    4. Fairer Economics
    5. Better Business
    6. Beyond Geopolitics
    7. Teach for Good

    Hot Topic – The Paradigm Shift

    During an interview, environmentalist Prince Charles from England emphasized that it is more urgent than ever to promote a paradigm shift. A shift which needs to motivate action at revolutionary levels and pace. To this end, he announced his own “Sustainable Markets Initiative” in collaboration with the WEF. The aim of the initiative is to put people and the planet at the top of global value creation (2).

    Prince Charles furthermore emphasized how “nature […] is the lifeblood of our financial markets”. He argues that only when working in harmony with nature’s economy can ours thrive as well. Therefore, companies need to position themselves as stakeholders in the broader social system to act as stewards for the planet’s prosperity. This is in line with the Davos Manifesto 2020 which proposes that corporate global citizenship will eventually improve the state of the world.

    Championing Change Management – The Fashion Industry

    As a key market player, the Fashion Industry is also proactively contributing to long-lasting changes. The Global Fashion Agenda and its strategic partners including the Sustainable Apparel Coalition co-published the CEO Fashion Agenda 2020 on the first day of the Annual Meeting. The Agenda attempts to decouple growth from resource constraints and, hence, seeks to redefine the measures of success.

    Practice What You Preach

    However, as Greta Thunberg would say, actions speak louder than words. It is of utmost importance that any well-intended initiatives translate into action.

    We will therefore closely follow how today’s market leaders will continue to pursue the points discussed during the 50th Annual Meeting in Davos.

    “We simply cannot waste any more time — the only limit is our willingness to act, and the time to act is now.” Prince Charles
