Navigating transformation: from complexity to opportunity
The GSPN community is driven by a shared commitment to accelerating sustainability transformation—one where business, society, and the environment thrive together. As we move into 2025, sustainability leaders are tasked with turning ambition into action, embedding sustainable practices into core business functions, and ensuring that regulation, resilience, and responsibility go hand in hand.
That’s why GSPN 2025 places systems change, leadership, and innovation at the heart of the agenda. This is a space for sustainability executives to engage in open, solutions-focused discussions, sharing how they are integrating sustainability across operations, supply chains, and governance structures.
With regulatory landscapes evolving at pace, we explore how businesses can leverage new frameworks to embed sustainability into corporate strategy—not as a compliance challenge, but as an opportunity for value creation, competitive advantage, and long-term resilience. We examine the critical intersections between sustainability, finance, risk, communications, and legal teams, bridging the gap between ambition and execution.
At GSPN 2025, we bring together the voices shaping the future—creating a collaborative space where sustainability leaders don’t just discuss change, but define and drive it.
