Mitigate today, innovate for tomorrow: Driving supply chain resilience
2027 Theme & Key Themes
The consumer goods industry is navigating an unprecedented tide of change. Climate pressures, shifting consumer expectations, and tightening regulations are accelerating, while geopolitical uncertainty and increasingly complex supply chains make it harder than ever to balance short-term resilience with long-term sustainable growth. The Consumer Goods Forum’s Sustainable Retail Summit is where leaders come together to turn these challenges into opportunities.
In today’s world, innovation is not optional — it is essential. But ideas alone are not enough. Our industry must transform bold thinking into scalable solutions that deliver measurable benefits for both people and the planet.
SRS will shine a spotlight on how leaders can move beyond pilots and pledges toward real impact — reshaping supply chains, strengthening communities, and protecting ecosystems. Speakers will share strategic insights and practical tools you can take back to your organisation to drive meaningful change.
More than a conference, the Sustainable Retail Summit is a platform for decisive, collaborative action — focused on turning innovation into lasting impact.
