From Strategy to Scale: Sustainability Leadership in Carbon-Mature Organizations | 2026 Global Decarbonization Forum

At the Global Decarbonization Forum 2026, Alexandra Morton (Circularify), Arnold Chatelain (Signify), and Alexander Weissmann (KPMG) get candid about the question sustainability leaders are not asking loudly enough: once you have the strategy, why is scaling it still so hard? The ambition is there. The roadmaps exist. The gap is execution.

From reframing the sustainability conversation away from compliance and toward commercial risk, to embedding carbon into product design before the decisions are locked in, to the moment a CFO stops treating decarbonization as a cost and starts treating it as a competitive position − the panel makes the case that carbon maturity is not only about having the right targets. It is about having the right organizational structures, incentives, and decision-making speed to act on them.

They also tackle the harder questions: how do you stop sustainability from living in a single department and make it the responsibility of every function in the business? How do you align procurement teams, engineers, and board-level executives around the same carbon logic when they are all working from different metrics and different motivations? And how do you build the kind of systemic leadership that does not just respond to the next regulation or the next crisis, but changes the rules of the game entirely?

Watch now to find out what the organizations already operating at scale know about turning sustainability strategy into business performance that the rest of the market is still figuring out.
