From Proof to Power: Building the Infrastructure for Systems Change
Thursday September 17, 2026 10:35am - 11:35am EDT
Room 301
This session will explore a central question for the B Corp and sustainable business community: Now that we've spent the last two decades proving that stakeholder-oriented business works, what will it take to translate that proof into durable systems change?

Panelists will discuss the policy, civic, economic, and movement infrastructure needed to move beyond individual company leadership and toward lasting change at scale.
