Executive Summary
Global Summit
The Premier FMCG Business Network and our Flagship Event, Where Business Leaders Come to Build the Future
Accelerating Impact: The Business Case for Change
The world’s 8 billion consumers engage with our brands every day, placing us in a unique position to help them lead happier, healthier, and more sustainable lives. However, our industry is at a challenging crossroads, facing issues such as the rising cost of living, limited macroeconomic growth, and sustainability targets that are difficult to meet, among other obstacles.
At this year’s Summit, we will explore five interconnected areas, engaging in in-depth discussions on the most pressing issues. In doing so, we will challenge one another to learn, take action, and increase our impact. We hope these conversations will continue long after the Summit has concluded.
