2025 Leadership and Innovation Workshop

As companies increasingly set ambitious climate and sustainability goals, attention is turning to the supply chain, often the largest source of emissions and environmental impact. Building sustainable supply chains is a complex challenge that cuts across industries, geographies, and functions. It requires not only transparency and traceability but also innovation in sourcing, logistics, partnerships, and measurement.

In this annual workshop hosted by the Business of Sustainability Initiative, we will explore the evolving landscape of sustainable supply chains. From decarbonizing freight and manufacturing to strengthening supplier relationships and integrating circular economy principles, the program will convene leaders from business, finance, policy, and civil society. Together, they will examine practical solutions and cross-sector strategies to drive meaningful and measurable change.

To foster candid dialogue, the workshop will be invitation-only and held in-person, with no recording or virtual attendance. Our goal is to surface actionable insights and collaborative approaches that can accelerate sustainability throughout global value chains.

Attendance is by invitation only, and the event is closed to the public and will only be held in-person. Further details are forthcoming and will be announced in due course.
