This will be controversial, because people here think that the WEF is somehow controlling the world, but the WEF has absolutely no ability to 'pressure' anyone. It lacks any mechanism for it. It is just a hub of bad ideas and a place where very bad people come together, like the UN. Domestic lobbies, NGOs, multinationals are far more pernicious in that.
And even when they are pressured, they are acting in their own interests. Because those pressuring will harm their interests if they don't obey.
That's looking at it in the most technical, strict definitions possible just to say "no they don't!" They don't need to directly apply any pressure from themselves, the people involved in it are applying that pressure and the WEF (or UN or the other vague groups like it) is just them getting into uniform conformity to all apply for similar goals.
Its the same as when they said "well Antifa isn't a real organized group, its just an idea so it can't have done anything you blame it for" when everyone with a brain could see that even if that was true, they are still coming into formation to apply intimidation in the same ways regardless of specific puppetmasters telling them to.
Sometimes they do things solely because they are pressured to by certain groups such as the WEF.
