This leading business conference brings together 300+ supply chain and sustainability professionals to address the greatest risks - and opportunities - in commodity supply chains. With a focus on cross-commodity learning and by placing farmers at the centre of the conversation, we’ll assess how to drive nature-resilience throughout the entire value chain.
 

Nature as business strategy

How to make the case for biodiversity, ecosystem restoration and regeneration as a core component of long-term growth and business success.

Climate resilience

How leading companies are balancing adaptation with mitigation in their climate transition planning.
 

Focus on farmers

Only farmers can change farming. So how can business build trust and co-create sustainable landscapes from the ground up?

Regenerative landscapes

Real-world, practical examples of the landscape approach in action with lessons learned across geographies, commodities and actors.

 The landscape approach in action
Through a series of case studies, we’ll assess applications across a range geographies where the landscape approach is already delivering results.

What’s different about this forum?

Innovation Forum is:
  • Candid: Entirely off-the-record discussion that enables open and honest disclosure from speakers and genuine participation from the audience.
  • Practical: A clear focus on the practical and actionable guidance that can drive change throughout industries and supply chains.
  • Focused: We provide enough time, resources and expertise to the issues that really matter. We don’t skate the surface, but get to the crux of the issues to provide in-depth, constructive discussion.
Innovation Forum is NOT:
  • A PR platform: Enthusiastic speakers are NOT given free rein to fill a session presenting their companies, allowing no time to actually get to the crux of the issues.
  • A talking shop: This is NOT an opportunity for a group people in a room to simply agree with everything said, regardless of outcomes.
  • All promise, no delivery: We will NOT promise what we can’t deliver. The issues covered are complex. They won’t be solved at a two-day conference. But we will help deliver progress through in-depth, constructive and practical advice around specific issues.
