The risks are real, the targets are urgent, and Europe's sustainability leaders are meeting both head-on.
The sustainability function is facing its greatest pressure in a decade. The Omnibus has destabilised the regulatory roadmap you built your strategy around. Geopolitical fragmentation is reshaping supply chains faster than policy can follow. And the business case assumptions that secured your budget, your team and your Board mandate two years ago are being challenged in every investment review.
The cost of standing still is not theoretical. It is reduced headcount, deferred targets, and a function that loses its seat at the table precisely when it is needed most.
This is not a moment for consensus. It is a moment for senior practitioners who are defending sustainability's commercial value, turning compliance into strategic advantage, and making the decisions now that will determine whether 2030 targets are met or quietly abandoned.
At Reuters Events: Sustainability Europe 2026 (20-21 October, London), alongside 400 senior sustainability, procurement and supply chain executives, we will help you manage supply chain volatility, respond to regulatory changes, improve your data accessibility, and build resilience into core operations so your business can perform under stress.
The future of sustainability teams is not guaranteed. It will be secured by those who can make sustainability stand on its own.
It is incredible the damage that is already being done, to agriculture, to livelihoods, to the way of life, migration to cities. It’s not tomorrow, it has started already. That’s why I’m grateful to Reuters for putting on an event like this because you reach places that really need to be reached, smart people who have the power to make decisions. That fact you’re having such a serious discussion, we’re very grateful.
