Our 2025 impact report is out: momentum in action

In 2025, Earth Action built strong momentum that will carry into 2026. From the Packaging Data Hub to the Plastic Pollution Mitigation Action Framework (PAF v1), we advanced global plastic accountability, strengthened partnerships, and delivered impact across 57 projects in 14 sectors. Collaborating with 15 civil society organizations, 26 PFN members, and 20 academic experts, we turned science and expertise into practical action.

As we enter 2026, we will scale high-impact initiatives, deepen collaborations, and ensure sustainability remains a priority — transforming momentum into tangible results for partners, communities, and the planet.

After Davos: What Global Signals Really Mean for Business Decisions

Beneath the headlines, however, a set of quieter but more structural signals emerged, with direct implications for how companies operate, manage risk and create value.

We unpack what the World Economic Forum discussions reveal for businesses beyond the stage. From conditional cooperation and shifting growth models to the human factor, innovation as a steering tool and the reality of environmental constraints, we explore how sustainability is increasingly shaping the rules of the game.

Most importantly, we explain how global signals translate into concrete expectations, risks and decisions for companies.
