On the day....

With over 500 senior executives in attendance and more than 500 online viewers, our 2024 Annual Summit brought together diverse perspectives from corporate, government, and civil society leaders for solutions-focused discussions on the pressing ESG challenges facing companies today. Attendees participated in panel discussions, fireside chats, and hands-on workshops aimed at empowering businesses to bridge the ambition to action gap, transforming operations for the benefit of people and the planet.

As the world navigates complex issues such as resource scarcity, social instability, and fluctuating policies, the Summit explored several key themes, including the necessity for stronger supply chain relationships, effective climate resilience strategies, innovative sustainability reporting, and the critical role of worker engagement in driving social sustainability. Participants also had the opportunity to network and share insights and expertise with industry professionals, fostering collaboration among leading business figures.
