This two-day business conference will explore practical examples of specific company initiatives and leading business practices in key areas of sustainability performance. The emphasis will remain on how business can drive a positive impact throughout supply chains and operations, whilst delivering measurable results.
The conference is designed to lay out the practical steps companies can take to implement and communicate policies and targets in key areas. We’ll also assess how companies can best engage key stakeholders in purpose and mission driven initiatives – both internally and externally.

What’s different about this forum?
Innovation Forum is:
- Candid: Entirely off-the-record discussion that enables open and honest disclosure from speakers and genuine participation from the audience.
- Practical: A clear focus on the practical and actionable guidance that can drive change throughout industries and supply chains.
- Focused: We provide enough time, resources and expertise to the issues that really matter. We don’t skate the surface, but get to the crux of the issues to provide in-depth, constructive discussion.
Innovation Forum is NOT:
- A PR platform: Enthusiastic speakers are NOT given free rein to fill a session presenting their companies, allowing no time to actually get to the crux of the issues.
- A talking shop: This is NOT an opportunity for a group people in a room to simply agree with everything said, regardless of outcomes.
- All promise, no delivery: We will NOT promise what we can’t deliver. The issues covered are complex. They won’t be solved at a two-day conference. But we will help deliver progress through in-depth, constructive and practical advice around specific issues.
