Wai-Chan Chan, Managing Director of The Consumer Goods Forum, said:
“We all know that accelerating a greener, healthier, and more resilient future is both a business and moral necessity – and we all have a critical role to play. Although many businesses are already making great strides for people and planet, we can and must all go much further. Collaboration is key – and The Consumer Goods Forum is all about businesses partnering across sectors and with key stakeholders around the world to drive change and deliver impact.”
“Our annual Sustainable Retail Summit provides an important opportunity to catalyse even greater collective action. I’m looking forward to wide-ranging discussions which can generate tangible outcomes helping shape the future of the industry, the planet, and its people. As we approach major global milestones like the UN Food Systems Summit and COP26, the consumer goods industry must seize the opportunities to scale up industry-wide and cross-sector partnerships. Collaboration and coordination are vital to meeting the scale of the challenges ahead.”
The event will also reflect on the progress being achieved by the CGF’s Coalitions of Action on urgent issues, including deforestation, forced labour, plastic waste and circularity, healthier lives and food waste.
Specific sessions will include a look at ‘The Future of Brands: Facing the Burden of Proof’, shining a light on how the CGF supports members to ensure human rights and environmental due diligence of their supply chains through its Forest Positive Coalition, Human Rights Coalition and Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative.
