Swiss Sustainability Transformation Event 2026
Including the Swiss Sustainability Reporting Excellence Awards
Driving resilience and performance in a volatile world
About the event
The Sustainability Transformation Event 2026 unites senior sustainability professionals, CFOs, and business leaders to celebrate excellence and inspire the future of reporting practices. The awards shine a light on organisations that not only meet standards but also set new benchmarks and create real impact across Switzerland.
This event aims to bring together business leaders and experts to explore how organisations can strengthen resilience, enhance competitiveness and deliver sustainable performance in an increasingly volatile environment. We look forward to an engaging discussion with three distinguished speakers who will share their perspectives on the role of technology, geopolitics and sustainability in today’s business landscape
Sustainability reporting has evolved beyond a mere compliance task - it's now a strategic tool for long-term value creation. As regulations change and stakeholder scrutiny grows, leading organisations are reshaping how they measure, communicate, and act on non-financial performance.
Join us on Tuesday, 22 September 2026, at PwC's Experience Center. Let's celebrate groundbreaking achievements and explore how sustainability reporting can unlock deeper insights, build trust, and support better decision-making.
Aditionally, we are offering four optional workshops from 15:00 to 16:00. Participants may register for one workshops free of charge. All workshops will take place at the PwC office.

Swisscleantech provides a concise overview of current developments in Switzerland and the EU (including the EU ETS, increasing transparency requirements, and key energy and climate policy trends) and translate these into practical implications for companies: what does this mean in practice?
