Join us in crafting a sustainable corporate world. Now.
Join us for the third edition of the Global Sustainability Solutions Summit (GSSS).
The GSSS brings together decision-makers from business, government, and academia to address real-world sustainability challenges and develop actionable solutions. Designed as a focused and trusted space, the event goes beyond high-level dialogue – with a clear emphasis on implementation and impact.
This year's theme: Sustainability that speaks to CFOs.
As sustainability competes for capital on the same terms as any other investment, the ability to make a credible business case — in the language of enterprise value, margin protection, and long-term capital allocation — has become a strategic capability.
The 2026 edition explores how organisations can bridge the gap between sustainability logic and financial logic, while navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
Explore impressions from past editions and get a sense of the atmosphere, discussions, and exchange that define the GSSS.
To all participants from the past years: Thank you for being interested in creating sustainable solutions together.

Is sustainability still relevant?
Despite economic and political pushback, regulatory hurdles, and narrative fatigue, organizations that embed sustainability into core operations are seeing real benefits.
ETH Zurich, UN Global Compact and EBP are pleased to invite you to this year’s edition of the Global Sustainable Solutions Summit, dedicated to one of today’s most challenging topics: supply chains—with keynotes, panels, and breakout sessions featuring leading Swiss companies addressing these issues firsthand.
Thank you for being part of this year’s Global Sustainable Solutions Summit.
