Peter P. Dhillon Centre for Business Ethics: Business for Social Good Summit 2026

Between wildly divergent worldviews and online echo chambers driving us further apart, the world has never felt so polarized. Every product and campaign is scrutinized for hidden meanings that supposedly provide evidence of “woke” or “anti-woke” agendas. How should businesses navigate a world where polarization divides us? Should they lead with their values and risk alienating half the market? Should they focus on profit and stay silent on the issues of the day? Through a novel format that engages business, academic, and government thought leaders, attendees will hear from expert speakers with differing perspectives, before engaging in stimulating discussions at their tables. Join us for a thought-provoking morning of insights and help shape the conversation about where we go from here!
