Leadership Panel: Navigating Uncertainty and Unlocking Value
Against the perfect storm of mounting stakeholder pressure, tariff turmoil and the escalating impacts of climate change, our opening session of the Summit brings together a selection of sustainability and supply chain leaders to share how businesses can move from risk to resilience and unlock hidden value through effective supply chain management strategies.
Discussion points:
- Overcoming the biggest supply chain risks facing business in 2025-26

- What climate adaptation and resilience looks like in practice
