Sustain 2025 spotlighted supply chain sustainability, ESG compliance readiness and scope 3 action as keys to business resilience in uncertain times.
We’re in what thought leader John Elkington describes as a “sustainability recession”. Global instability and economic volatility are causing some governments and companies to scale back their ESG commitments and push sustainability priorities to the margins.

With 700 business leaders and sustainability practitioners attending in person – and another 2,400 joining virtually from over 100 countries – the event underscored a critical truth: pulling back on sustainability now will only leave us more vulnerable in the long term. Across inspiring panel discussions and breakout sessions, we heard that the path forward demands stronger collaboration, smarter supply chains and bold leadership that transforms both the how and why of business.
