Leading Responsibly: The CEO Perspective on Corporate Citizenship in 2026 and Beyond

What does it really mean to run a responsible business in 2026? In this conversation, CEOs will speak candidly about the pressures and possibilities of leading with purpose — from navigating climate goals, geopolitical shifts, and AI ethics to building trust with employees, customers, and communities. They’ll discuss how governance, transparency, and accountability shape their decisions, and what they need from their corporate citizenship, sustainability, and governance teams to turn commitments into lasting impact and business success.

From Data to Impact: Making Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning Actionable for Social Impact

In a landscape where corporate citizenship is under pressure from politicization, polarization, and rapid A-driven change, organizations need more than traditional metrics. This panel brings together corporate leaders to discuss how Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) can support trust, adaptability, and impact. When embedded into strategy and operations, MEL becomes a driver of continuous learning, clearer decision-making, and credible communication – helping organizations navigate complexity, respond to shifting expectations, and demonstrate authentic commitment to social impact.

Strengthening Communities – A Place-Based Approach

One of the KPMG U.S. Foundation’s core pillars is Community Vitality—a commitment to investing in strong, vibrant communities through holistic, place-based programs that address interconnected local needs. A leading example of this work is the Foundation’s support of the San Francisco Downtown Development Corporation (SFDDC), which mobilizes private capital and civic expertise to fund and implement high-impact initiatives that catalyze long-term economic development in downtown San Francisco. Working in close coordination with the City of San Francisco, as well as business, labor, and civic leaders, the coalition aims to reimagine downtown as a thriving destination – one that drives economic growth while strengthening the city’s cultural and social fabric. This discussion will examine what differentiates this coalition model, the early outcomes and lessons emerging from the work, and what it takes to sustain place-based initiatives amid complex social and economic challenges.

Good Governance, Better AI: What Responsibility Looks Like in Practice

As AI moves from pilots to the core of the business, “responsible AI” has to mean more than principles on a slide. This session brings together sustainability, corporate governance, and corporate citizenship to explore how companies operationalize responsibility end-to-end—without slowing innovation. We’ll discuss what responsible AI looks like in practice; how defined accountability, risk-tiered oversight, and built-in checks can actually speed deployment; and how companies are beginning to navigate the human and community dimensions of AI—from efforts to close the digital divide and support workforce transitions to understanding the environmental footprint of data centers and their impact on surrounding communities.

Mike Jackson, GM and Associate General Counsel, Head of Legal and AI Governance, Office of Responsible AI, Microsoft

Andrew Jones, PhD, Principal Researcher, Governance & Sustainability Center, The Conference Board

02:40 PM - 03:15 PM ET

Nature, Risk, and the Roots of Resiliency

As nature loss accelerates, companies are recognizing that biodiversity, water, and healthy ecosystems are not externalities—but operational dependencies and sources of strategic risk. From supply chains and site operations to community well-being and financial stability, natural systems underpin resilience and long-term value creation. This session will explore how leading organizations are mapping and managing nature-related risks, integrating biodiversity and water considerations into governance and enterprise risk frameworks, and advancing nature-positive strategies that strengthen business continuity and social license to operate.
