Corresponsables Madrid 2026: from data mess to mastery
IESE Business School, Jornadas Corresponsables #JAnuario2026MAD IESE Business School, Jornadas Corresponsables #JAnuario2026MAD That was the core message Juanjo Mestre, CEO and co-founder of Dcycle, brought to the main stage at IESE Business School during Jornadas Corresponsables Madrid 2026. In front of 700+ sustainability professionals, he challenged the industry’s current obsession with AI as a silver bullet for ESG reporting.
The argument is simple. Companies do not have a reporting problem. They have an infrastructure problem. Years of scattered data captures, process owners working without a system, and workflows reinvented every regulatory cycle have created a structural mess that no amount of AI can fix on its own. If the underlying data architecture is a silo, AI will only automate the chaos.
Juanjo’s presentation walked through Dcycle’s approach to building a corporate data architecture for ESG. Connect once, validate once, and let every framework, from CSRD to GHG Protocol to EcoVadis, read from the same source of truth.
The day at IESE featured some of the most honest conversations the Spanish sustainability community has had in recent years.
At the corporate roundtable, leaders from MasOrange, Corporacion Hijos de Rivera, and Donte Group were not talking about ticking compliance boxes. They were talking about operational transformation: how to embed sustainability into the way a company actually runs, not just the way it reports.
Noemie Renard from Grupo Lactalis discussed accelerating the path to net zero. Isabel Hernandez from Sage spoke about connecting talent, purpose, and business leadership. And Vicky Vila from IVI RMA Global put it clearly: transforming with AI is not a technology promise, it is redesigning how information flows inside a company.
The closing session with German Granda from Foretica and Ana Sainz from Fundacion SERES reinforced a point we fully share: the future of corporate sustainability is not built from reports. It is built from architecture.
Our booth at Corresponsables reflected our philosophy. The “From Data Mess to Mastery” branding was everywhere: on the shirts the team wore, on the caps and notebooks we gave away, and on the live demos of the Dcycle platform running on screen.
The team spent the day showing attendees how multi-framework reporting works in practice, walking them through real data flows from source to XBRL-tagged output. Conversations ranged from Scope 3 measurement to how our automated data collection connects with the ERPs companies already use.
Because we believe sustainability events should not feel like sustainability events, we brought our ESG roulette to the booth.
Attendees filled out a short form, spun the wheel, and won Dcycle-branded prizes: power banks, notebooks, pens, stickers, caps, and the coveted “From Mess to Mastery” t-shirts. The roulette became one of the most visited activations at the event, turning lead capture into something people actually wanted to do.
Over 410,000 people followed the event across Corresponsables’ channels. For us, it confirmed that the market is ready to move beyond framework fatigue and start building the data infrastructure that makes compliance a byproduct, not a project.
If your company is navigating CSRD, carbon footprint, or any ESG framework and wants to move from spreadsheet chaos to a real data architecture, let’s talk.
