UN Global Compact Network Denmark Annual Conference 2026

Overview
Agenda

Businesses today operate in a landscape defined by rapid and complex change. Geopolitical tensions, global conflicts, new regulatory requirements, and rising expectations from customers, investors, and society are creating an environment in which companies must continuously navigate and adapt.

At the UN Global Compact Network Denmark Annual Conference on 18 May at Danske Bank, business leaders, experts, and decision-makers will come together for a day focused on how companies can strengthen their resilience, responsibility, and competitiveness in a new global reality.

We are pleased to welcome Jesper Brodin, former CEO of IKEA and Vice Chair of the UN Global Compact Board, who will share perspectives on leadership, sustainable business development, and how global companies navigate an increasingly complex world.

In addition, Jakob Bøss, Head of Group Positioning & Sustainability at Danske Bank, will provide insights into the financial and strategic perspectives on the sustainability transition in a world characterised by uncertainty.

The conference will offer inspiration, practical insights, and opportunities for dialogue with some of the leaders and companies shaping the future of responsible business.

Mark your calendar and join us as we explore how companies can navigate change and create value in a new reality.
