INSEAD Alumni Forum 2026

Sustainability in a New Era: How Radical Materiality Sharpens Focus Amid AI and Geopolitics – INDEVOR’s luncheon workshop before INSEAD’s Oslo Alumni Forum. 

Time: May 15 (Friday) 12:00-13:30 

Venue: BCG Oslo Office: Henrik Ibsens Gate 4, 0255 Oslo, Norway.  - REGISTER HERE

The global backlash against sustainability is often  framed as a retreat. This year’s Business and Sustainability Summit explores a  different view: that heightened scrutiny is pushing boards – and the companies  they oversee – to refocus on what truly matters for long-term value creation. We will examine how radical materiality cuts through the noise, sharpens  strategic priorities, and helps leaders navigate sustainability alongside other  defining forces such as AI and geopolitics. Drawing on insights from a  multi-year collaboration between INSEAD, BCG, and Heidrick & Struggles on  the evolving role of the board, this interactive session will combine research findings with a dynamic panel discussion and active participant  engagement.  [2 more panellists TBC].
