“Come but bring your operations people with you so that together you can progress on making things happen.”

“I met really interesting leaders who genuinely demonstrated their interest, care and pragmatic approach for advancing the SDGs with their companies, staff and leaders and of course with their consumers.”

“As a first-time attendee, I would encourage you to come, listen to the case studies and then take the learnings back to your business.”

“Book a ticket! The content and the people you meet will help you shift from the transactional to the transformative, reinforcing that we all have a part to play in our shared sustainable journey.”

Agenda Overview

The 2026 conference will shine a spotlight on the businesses, brands and retailers who are stepping up to the challenge of building new systems for our industry.

We will showcase practical, repeatable examples of what’s working – from materials and design, to data, circular models, supply chains and retail execution — and celebrate those already proving that progress at scale is possible.
