The Conference 

The Responsible Supply Chain Conference is a two-day event in Berlin, bringing together policymakers, regulators, industry, researchers, and think tanks to explore the evolving sustainability landscape and build resilient supply chains.

Key discussions will focus on EU regulatory changes like the Competitiveness Compass and CSDDD, with sessions on:

  • Validity in sustainable operations and carbon offset verification
  • Trends in the voluntary carbon market and CCUS
  • Capital flows into climate solutions
  • Emissions technologies, biofuels, and EV adoption
  • Circular economy innovations and predictive maintenance
  • The role of AI and blockchain in sustainable supply chains

Why It Matters

From raw material extraction to last-mile delivery, global supply chains face unprecedented complexity. Cross-border operations, evolving regulations, and stakeholder demands for transparency make sustainability both a challenge and a competitive advantage.

The payback for getting it right is priceless, delivering on the three Ps of the bottom line – people, profits and the planet.
