About

As climate shocks, market volatility, geopolitics and ever-evolving legislation continue to reshape supply chains, ‘sustainability’ has become ‘resilience.’ What is a resilient, future-proof sourcing strategy in today’s uncertain landscape? We will assess leading company approaches. From integrating nature and climate risks into procurement, to scaling regenerative approaches across sourcing regions, to getting ahead of the regulatory curve.

Discover how nature risk is impacting supply chains right now. What does the underlying data tell us about biodiversity loss and water risk? What are the effects on production? And how can business integrate this data into decision making for more robust, resilient supply?

We’ll assess the steps to align industry around measurement, benchmarking and reporting. Plus, the practical steps to protect and promote biodiversity for a measurable, positive impact on the ground.

Climate risk is business risk. Both mitigation AND adaptation are needed to maintain operational stability and resilient supply. We’ll assess the concrete actions that business can take in the short, medium and long-term to move from commitments and ambition to real word impact.

How must sourcing strategies adapt to keep up with net zero and a 2-degree world? What are the numbers that grab the attention of the CFO? And how to demonstrate a clear, quantifiable ROI to climate action?

Resilience must be shared throughout the value chain. We’ll assess how business can drive positive impact on the ground and support smallholder farmers. From long-term partnerships, scalable finance mechanisms, climate adaptation, and access to markets, we’ll explore the practical ways to move beyond due diligence to delivering on local priorities.
