The 10th annual Consumer Goods Forum Sustainable Retail Summit convened in Paris at a critical inflection point for the consumer goods industry.

Against a backdrop of climate-driven supply chain disruption, geopolitical volatility and eroding global spending power, more than 250 industry leaders came together to explore the scalable solutions needed to navigate these interconnected challenges.

Under the theme From Innovation to Impact: Scaling Solutions for People and Planet, discussions made one thing clear: sustainability is no longer a siloed initiative, but a core condition for long-term business viability. From decarbonisation to nature-positive sourcing and regenerative agriculture, companies are embedding sustainability into their strategies to manage risk and secure future growth.

In this executive summary, we have captured the key insights and defining moments from this milestone edition.
