How to align internal teams on risk, resilience and compliance for a commercial advantage

11:25 - 12:10
Siloed agendas and competing KPIs often stall progress, leaving value untapped. Aligning internal teams around risk, resilience, and commercial value is essential for driving impactful sustainability strategies. While 86% of companies recognize sustainability as a key driver of resilience, fewer than 30% have successfully aligned internal teams around shared goals (McKinsey).  
 
But what does aligning procurement, sustainability, operations, and finance teams around common goals look like in practice? Through this session we want to take on the task of exploring how achieving alignment not only drives sustainable goals but also generates value across the business, environment, and society:  
 
  • Practical strategies for cross-functional buy-in and shared accountability 
  • Tools to translate sustainability metrics into finance-friendly ROI from cost of inaction models to resilience-linked cost savings  
  • The competitive advantage of increased transparency for supply chain resilience, compliance and net-zero ambitions  
  • Real-world cases where procurement and sustainability teams turned trade-offs into joint wins
