2026 General Assembly & Global Compact Dialogue

We are pleased to invite you to our annual General Assembly followed by a Global Compact Dialogue, both taking place on Wednesday, 10 June 2026 at the premises of dsm-firmenich in Satigny (10 minutes by train from Geneva main station).

This year's edition is especially meaningful as we will formally bid farewell to our Executive Director, Antonio Hautle, who will be retiring in 2027, along with several long-standing board members.

General Assembly | participants only

The official General Assembly is scheduled for 11:15 and is open for participants of the UN Global Compact Network Switzerland and Liechtenstein only. Every employee in our participating organizations is invited to attend, with each company entitled to cast only one vote. All attendees of the General Assembly are invited to join us for a complimentary lunch. If you would also like to join the Global Compact Dialogue taking place in the afternoon, please indicate so during the registration process.
