What will define leadership for sustainable consumer products? Tying the sustainability strategy to business outcomes is essential, say Ann Tracy of Colgate-Palmolive and BCG’s Shalini Unnikrishnan, but leaders must ensure initiatives fuel company priorities. "What we're trying to do as leaders in this space is to ensure that our companies keep one foot anchored in the long term," says Tracy. "We do that by really looking for and establishing the resilience message." #BCGatCGF #CGFSummit

Successful companies no longer wait for stability — they build the muscle to move through uncertainty. At #SummerDavos, BCG Asia Pacific Chair Yasushi Sasaki spoke with CNBC on why resilience and innovation are the defining CEO priorities today, as geopolitical shifts, supply chain disruption, and AI reshape how businesses operate. BCG's AI at Work report puts it in numbers: 70% of frontline workers now use AI regularly. True transformation means redesigning end-to-end operational flows, not just deploying tools.

Customer archetypes have long been the foundation of marketing. AI is changing that. Ruba Borno, VP of Global Specialists & Partners at Amazon Web Services (AWS), shared her thoughts on how AI is revolutionizing workflows and creating new opportunities for business partnerships. Her perspective: AI is moving marketers beyond broad customer segments and toward true individualization. Instead of optimizing for a handful of archetypes, organizations can now tailor experiences, content, and even monetization strategies for each customer based on their unique context and preferences. #BCGinCannes

Chipotle Mexican Grill's Chief Brand Officer, Fernando Machado, has spent years building brands that stand out, not blend in. Speaking with BCG, he shared how marketers can use AI without compromising brand integrity. His message is simple: AI amplifies what you bring to it. Strong judgment, creative instincts, and a deep understanding of your customers aren’t replaced by AI—they’re what determine whether it gives you a competitive edge or produces average results. #BCGinCannes

Five years ago, BCG set climate targets. In 2025, it met them. During that time, absolute emissions fell more than 35% while global revenue grew more than 90%. Hitting both meant operational discipline including more regional meetings rather than global flyovers, increased energy efficiency, and more renewable energy. This is BCG's first milestone, not its last. Growth and climate performance were never competing priorities. Read BCG's 2025 commitments report. https://on.bcg.com/4vTPqNd

The AI product wasn't the biggest change. The team was. Building a new AI product for internal teams, created something more than a new tool. It sparked experimentation. New ideas. And the opportunity to work alongside colleagues who were equally curious about what AI could make possible. The technology mattered. But what stood out most was the chance to work on something people genuinely cared about, with colleagues they genuinely enjoyed working with. That's the kind of innovation that keeps people growing together. Watch our Gen AI Innovation team, Andrey Chekunin, Alexander Achba and Dima Kachushkin chatting about their experience.
