position act 2026 position act 2026

From intentions to real impact

Position Act 2026 puts impact on stage. We move past big words and into real progress. This year is all about turning data-driven evidence into business advantage, building corporate resilience.

And we don’t do it alone. Position Act brings together over 300 sustainability leaders to share wins, challenge assumptions, and co-create strategies that actually move the needle.

Expect real cases, real results, and real conversations with peers who are turning data into performance and performance into clear business outcomes.

You’ll leave energized, equipped, and backed by the proof you need to drive measurable impact and strengthen corporate resilience in your organization. Because it’s not just about taking action. It’s about demonstrating that your action works and that impact pays off.

A day where impact takes the stage

A day built on real stories, real results, and real collaboration.

What Position Act 2026 is all about

Proving impact

We’re done with promises. This is the day sustainability gets real. You’ll hear the stories, see the evidence, and meet the people proving that impact is measurable.

Impact is bigger when we act together

Impact doesn’t happen in isolation. Position Act brings sustainability leaders together to share wins, tackle challenges, and co-create solutions that drive stronger outcomes.

Turning evidence into advantage

Data isn’t the finish line, it’s your competitive edge. At Position Act, we explore how to turn data into advantage and sustainability performance into business value.

Leading with momentum

This isn’t just a one-day event, it’s a spark for what comes next. Together, we celebrate progress, accelerate what works, and keep the momentum alive long after the day is over.

The 2026 agenda

Collect your name badge and get ready for a day where business impact takes the stage.

09:00–09:05 Welcome

Meet your moderator and set the tone for a day focused on measurable business outcomes and corporate resilience.

09:05–09:25 Market outlook and how technology enables resilience

How are market expectations around sustainability changing and what does that mean for businesses today? The day opens with perspectives on key market shifts, resilience, and how technology can help companies turn sustainability data into competitive advantage. 

 

Speaker:

Daniel Gadd, CEO and Co-founder of Position Green

 

09:25–10:15 The future of corporate resilience on our planet

What does corporate resilience actually mean on a planet that is breaching safe operating limits? As climate, nature loss, and geopolitical tensions reshape global systems, businesses face growing systemic risks across value chains and markets. We connect the science of planetary boundaries to corporate decision-making, highlighting how companies should rethink risk, strategy, and competitiveness in a rapidly changing world.

10:50–11:30 State of the union: The business case for sustainability

Has the business case for sustainability fundamentally changed? This session examines how market forces, investor expectations, and governance pressures are reshaping the role of sustainability in corporate strategy. From credible transition plans to measurable ROI, we deep dive on where sustainability performance is already creating business value with clear financial returns and what will distinguish the leaders from the laggards in the years ahead.

 

Speaker

Andreas Rasche, Professor of Business in Society at the Centre for Sustainability at Copenhagen Business School

 

11:30–12:15 Bridging generational perspectives – building resilient companies

What does corporate resilience look like from the perspective of long-term owners? In this live recording of the Sustainable Edge podcast, we explore how different generations of two of the largest Nordic industrial owners view leadership, responsibility, and long-term value creation—and what matters the most when handing over to the next generation.
