WBCSD Networking & Screening of “Beyond Zero” Film

Date: 19 May 2026
Time: 19:00 – 22:00
Venue: Singapore Sustainability Academy
Partner: City Developments Ltd.

As part of the WBCSD Connect programme during Ecosperity Week 2026, we are inviting sustainability practitioners, business leaders and changemakers for an inspiring screening of the award-winning documentary Beyond Zero, alongside a networking opportunity.

The film tells the captivating story of Ray Anderson, Founder of Interface, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of modular carpet, and how his business strategy was built fundamentally on the mission to eliminate his company’s entire environmental footprint.

Translating ambition into action requires the right conditions, often dependent on stronger, smarter policy environments. Ahead of the screening, we will share an exclusive preview of findings from the upcoming Business Breakthrough Barometer 2026, a landmark survey of over 300 business leaders across 50+ countries, co-produced by WBCSD and Bain & Company, providing a rare first look at what the data tells us about the pace of the sustainability transition, with a particular lens on insights from Asia-Pacific.

We invite attendees to watch, reflect, and join the conversation.

About the documentary

Beyond Zero is an award-winning documentary following Ray Anderson, CEO of flooring company Interface, who embarked on a quest to eliminate his company’s negative environmental impact by 2020.

After being asked about his company’s environmental impact, CEO Ray Anderson experienced an “environmental awakening” that changed his perspective on the carpet industry. Anderson challenged Interface to erase its footprint through recycling, renewable energy, and waste reduction. The film portrays the difficult but successful journey to create a restorative, future-proof company and serves as an inspiration and roadmap for businesses looking to address climate change. It highlights that this ambitious goal requires changing the entire business model rather than just taking small environmental actions.

The Business Breakthrough Barometer is a survey capturing perspectives from over 300 business leaders across more than 50 countries on the speed and scale of the global sustainability transition, particularly within seven sectors, steel, cement, power, hydrogen, road transport, buildings and fertilizer, that contribute to half of global emissions. Developed by WBCSD and partners including Bain & Company, 2026 Barometer insight is scheduled for release in June, making this session a preview of upcoming findings.
