How to build a Sustainable and Prosperous Economy

23/09/2026

In the special Sustainability edition of Knack on 23 September, our CEO Magali Frankl addressed a question that is becoming increasingly important for organisations: how can we reconcile sustainability with economic resilience and competitiveness?

For Magali, these ambitions do not have to be at odds with one another. Companies that invest in climate-neutral, circular and nature-positive business models today are also strengthening their resilience for tomorrow. In doing so, it is crucial to look beyond their impact on nature and the climate alone: their dependence on ecosystems, raw materials, water and healthy soils also plays a key role in determining how future-proof a business is.

However, this transition requires more than action from individual companies. It calls for long-term frameworks, cross-sector collaboration, and systems that make sustainable choices more logical and accessible. This is precisely where Magali sees an important role for The Shift: bringing organisations together to learn from one another, tackle structural challenges, and enable sustainable solutions to scale.
