How are companies engaging with their upstream and downstream value chains to scale action on their sustainability targets? 

This session will explore how leading companies are driving progress on their environmental and social sustainability targets by working more effectively across their value chain – both upstream (e.g. suppliers, raw materials, etc.) and downstream (e.g. distributors, customers, etc.)  

The objective of the session is to demonstrate how deeper, more strategic engagement across the value chain can accelerate sustainability performance, drive business resilience, and unlock new opportunities for value creation. Through practical examples and discussion, panellists will share how they are partnering with stakeholders to deliver impact in key areas such as climate action and fair labour practices.

Speakers will present tools, strategies, and innovative approaches their organisations are using to build sustainable, inclusive, and efficient value chains – ultimately showing how these efforts contribute to both commercial success and meaningful progress toward sustainability goals.
