The Power of Trust – Dinner

“In an era defined by “infobesity” and the rapid erosion of institutional truth, leadership has encountered a profound paradox: we have more data than ever, yet less certainty. The World Economic Forum reports that 70% of global citizens feel misled by leaders, while the “”erosion of truth”” now costs the global economy an estimated $78 billion annually. In this landscape, a brand is no longer just a reputation—it is a defensive asset, a compass, and a signal in the noise.

The Ocean Race and Holcim invite you to an intimate dinner at Davos 2026 to explore The Power of Trust. We move beyond abstract ESG metrics to the uncompromising world of physical risk. On a racing yacht in the Southern Ocean or an international construction site, a broken promise is not a PR crisis—it is a structural failure. Success in these high-stakes environments demands Radical Reliability: the discipline of doing what you say, every time.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the unwavering trust of a crew racing around the world. In the isolated extremes of the deep ocean, sailors trust their very lives to one another; a single lapse in health and safety compliance or a broken commitment can be catastrophic.

This level of “Relational Capital” is the ultimate buffer against a volatile world. When the stakes are life and death, trust is not a soft value—it is the life-support system of the vessel.

By anchoring our discussion in the “ground truth” of Ocean Science and the non-negotiable transparency of the Circular Economy, we will examine how C-suite leaders can build steadfast organizations. We will discuss how verifiable data and high-compliance partnerships form the only currency that does not devalue in a volatile world.
