by Nature
December 8, 2026
11:30 – 19:00 CET
Circa, Amsterdam
On December 8, 2026, over 450 Dutch B Corp leaders and changemakers will gather in Amsterdam to reconnect, reflect, and explore how businesses can build resilience, adapt like nature, and help shape a more inclusive, regenerative economy.
Beyond Summit in a Nutshell
A community of impact. A call for action. A moment to connect.
Back for its next edition, Beyond Summit 2026 is the annual gathering of the Dutch B Corp community: a place to meet peers, exchange ideas, get inspired and turn shared ambition into action.
This year, we explore the theme “Resilient by Nature”: how businesses can adapt, renew, and build resilience in a world shaped by climate pressure, social division, and economic uncertainty. Inspired by living systems, we’ll look at how diversity, connection, and renewal can help strengthen the communities, ecosystems, and relationships businesses depend on.
With 450+ B Corps, changemakers, and purpose-driven professionals in one space, this is where new perspectives emerge, partnerships grow, and momentum builds.
Come be part of the day where new ideas take root, connections deepen, and momentum starts to grow.
Together, we build resilience into the way we lead.

From Ambition to Action: The Reality of Climate Commitments
This session explores how companies across sizes and sectors turn climate commitments into practical action, from mitigation and adaptation to regeneration. Hear their real challenges, key learnings, and what can truly move the needle for long-term resilience.
Resilient by Community: Collective Action in Practice
What does collective action actually look like for B Corps? Through examples from B Locals, Circles, and coalitions, this session explores how companies can turn shared challenges into shared action: exchanging knowledge, joining forces, and strengthening collective impact beyond their own organisation.
The Certification Journey as a Living Process
Resilient ecosystems stay healthy through regeneration and adaptation. B Lab's V2 Certification model draws inspiration from this through recurring audits and a cycle built for continuous accountability. Our panel of recently recertified B Corps shares what that adaptive process looks like in practice.
