Top 100 CEOs at the Summit Table
The chief executives and chairs who show up at the G20, G7, B20, W20, COP and APEC processes, and who back that attendance with public commitments to cleaner, fairer and more inclusive growth.
How the list was compiled. Each leader has a documented role in at least one summit process in 2024–2026, such as chairing a B20 task force, sitting on a B7 board, speaking at the APEC CEO Summit or leading a COP business working group, and has a public sustainability or social-impact commitment. Leaders are grouped by forum and numbered for reference, not ranked. Titles are as of October 2026.
