This year’s Power of Unity program begins with a fresh lens on community strength through the Social Resilience Index 2026 aimed at mapping the economic, social, and behavioral factors shaping community strength. It is part of our effort to understand what actually binds people together and to identify the concrete practices, rituals, interactions and conditions that make community thrive or erode across selected markets.
Throughout the year we will share both data and stories from communities navigating a more complex world. This focus aligns with the vision expressed by our CEO, Oliver Bäte, during his World Economic Forum 2026 interview, where he highlighted the importance of active, connected communities.
