Who is responsible for the common good?
Governments?
Leaders?
Each of us?
What if the answer is: all of the above?
The Zermatt Summit 2026 brings together voices ready to move beyond theory — and into action.
🗓 17–19.09.2026
📍 Zermatt, Switzerland
🔒 By invitation only

Responsibility
Leadership carries responsibility —
not only for results, but for consequences
Economic choices shape societies, ecosystems and future generations.
Our participants align performance with responsibility.
True measure of success = impact we leave behind.

Listening
The most important conversations are not the loudest ones.
They happen when leaders take the time to listen —
across sectors, cultures and perspectives.
The Zermatt Summit - where meaningful dialogue can happen:
Because progress rarely comes from monologues.

Why Zermatt?

Zermatt is not just a location.

It is a pause.

Surrounded by permanence, far from daily urgency,
the mountain invites clarity, humility and long-term thinking.

Altitude changes perspective —
and perspective changes leadership.

This is why Zermatt matters.

[Zermatt Summit @ZermattSummit]

WHY ?
In a time of polarization, leadership is no longer about having the loudest voice.
It's about making choices grounded in values.
The ZS was created to offer a space where leaders can confront deeper questions: What guides our decisions?
This's where the conversation begins

🌟 “The future is not something we inherit — it is something we shape.”

Achieving the SDGs is not possible without bold action on human rights.

The Business & Human Rights Accelerator activates companies across industries and regions to move from commitment to action on human rights and labour rights. Over the course of six months, participants learn to embed a robust human rights due diligence (HRDD) process into strategy and operations – not only safeguarding people, but gaining a strategic advantage as a force for good.

Take action to address the human rights impacts of your business.

⏳ Don’t miss out. Applications close 19 December 2025.

There is a clear need to close the gap between business aspiration and action on human rights.
80 per cent of the most influential companies have not taken the first step in human rights due diligence by identifying, assessing and acting on their risks.

The Business & Human Rights Accelerator addresses this by helping companies of all sizes embed human rights into their strategy and operations. This six-month programme is designed to equip companies with the skills necessary to establish or enhance their human rights due diligence mechanisms, monitor the effectiveness of their efforts and communicate their progress with stakeholders clearly.

📌 Don’t just commit. Take action.
