Overview

Now in its third edition, the Sourcing Journal Sustainability Summit brings together the executives and leaders in our industry who are at the forefront of change.

Building upon our inaugural theme, “The Road to 2030,” this year’s event is titled “A Need for Radical Cooperation.”

In the years we have put together our summits, as well as through our tireless day-to-day coverage of the industry, it has become apparent that the only way forward is together. It is a call to action. It is simply impossible to achieve a greener future in a silo.

From brand commitments, to cutting-edge tech, to traceability tools, all facets must work in concert to bring about a true evolution.

Join us as we convene players from all of these sectors, along with legal experts and thought leaders, and help define the course of our industry for the remainder of the decade.
