Making an impact on the global agenda
Deloitte is a long-standing strategic partner of the World Economic Forum (WEF).

WEF and its strategic partners work collaboratively to address issues of global importance and inspire action to improve the state of the world.
Drawing on Deloitte’s experience and capabilities from across our network, we help WEF address critical global challenges through our contributions to WEF communities, initiatives and participation in events throughout the year - including the Annual Meeting at Davos. As a strategic partner, we work with a broad spectrum of global decision makers to develop frameworks, ideas and approaches that address some of the world’s most pressing and complex challenges.

As the world navigates through a global pandemic and unprecedented challenges, Deloitte joins forces with WEF and its partners and others to determine priorities and generate insights that will help stakeholders make informed decisions on critical issues. Using the depth of experience and broad capabilities of the Deloitte network, we are able to contribute to solutions for complex challenges.
Deloitte leaders and experts share their point of views on prominent themes and current debates featured on the WEF Agenda platform. Featured items such as impact stories, podcasts and videos showcase other Deloitte and WEF initiatives.
The conversation has shifted from reporting progress on ESG indicators to embedding ESG metrics into core business strategies. The Forum’s International Business Council has identified 21 core stakeholder capitalism metrics – critical ESG indicators which companies can report on, regardless of industry or region.
Limiting warming to as close to 1.5°C as possible presents a rare, once-in-a-generation opportunity to reorient the global economy for more sustainable, resilient and equitable growth. If we take decisive climate action now, there is potential to gain $43 trillion in net present value to the global economy by 2070.
ESG - Environmental, Social and Governance - reporting is increasingly essential – and even required. Yet, without definitive standards, sustainability reporting remains complex – and a barrier to progress. Ahead of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos 2022, business leaders provided insights on how companies can track and deliver on ESG promises.
