About the event
Join us in Chicago!
Six editions in, and the energy keeps growing. This April, we’re bringing our flagship summit to Chicago for a day built around bold ideas, practical solutions, and the people driving sustainability forward.
Why You’ll Want to Be There
This isn’t just another conference, it’s a hub for action, curiosity, and meaningful conversation. Explore practical solutions, gain future-focused insights, and connect with the leaders shaping FMCG sustainability today.
🌍 Scope 3 Emissions & Day-to-Day Impact
From product carbon footprints (PCFs) to supply chain engagement projects, explore practical strategies that reduce impact, drive measurable results, and turn sustainability goals into action.
👥 Long-Term Outlook & the Human Side of Sustainability
People power sustainability. We’ll dive into the green job market, practitioner aspirations, and skills development, helping teams plan for long-term impact while exploring how current projects connect to the future of the sector.
The Experience
Past summits have set the bar high — think curated venue tours, dynamic conversations, and a networking cocktail hour to close. Chicago will bring that same spark, with new faces, fresh ideas, and an electric atmosphere.
