2026 Sustainability Priorities: Compliance, Strategy and Innovation
The next phase of sustainability is all about integration - connecting climate, nature, data, and equity to turn ambition into verifiable action. Discover the 10 priorities Agendi sees defining the road to 2026.
October 2025
During our Oct 8 executive webinar, we explored key priority areas for sustainability 2026, including: compliance, voluntary frameworks, data expectations, and investor expectations.
Here’s a summary of Agendi’s outlook for 2026, along with recommended actions to address these emerging priorities with links to the deck and the recording:
1️⃣ Political cycles and policy shifts are deepening regulatory fragmentation – build a disclosure plan
2️⃣ Frameworks are shifting in 2026 – assess, monitor, and be ready to adapt
3️⃣ Focus where value and impact are highest – use materiality to guide strategy
4️⃣ Stakeholders and capital markets price delivery, not ambition – stress-test transition plans
5️⃣ Decisions and disclosures stand on data quality – strengthen governance and data controls
6️⃣ Market confidence requires traceable, resilient value chains – collaborate with your value chain
7️⃣ Investors are seeking quantified disclosures – integrate financial metrics into transition planning
8️⃣ Recognition of the role of nature is rising – apply the LEAP approach to assess dependencies and impacts
9️⃣ AI offers transformative potential but requires oversight – embed AI governance
🔟 Trust depends on a just and inclusive transition – prepare for TISFD and social disclosure
