Workshop 1 Managing risks and opportunities with a sustainable and transparent supply chain With increased regulation, public scrutiny and stakeholder expectations, the way businesses manage supply chain risk is changing. Setting up policy is no longer enough and procurement teams need more reliable indicators of suppliers’ sustainability performance, actions is urgently in need. In this session, join us to discuss why now is the time to go beyond Code of Conduct and the “tick-the-box” exercise to drive a more sustainable, innovative and resilient supply chain.
• Is sustainable procurement part of your strategy? Are you collaborating with your suppliers to achieve these goals? • How are you managing supplier risk today? Do you have enough transparency and visibility on your suppliers’ practice? How are you collecting your information? What has and has not worked for you? • How do drive continuous improvement and more innovation for a more robust and sustainable supply chain?

Workshop 2 Uncovering the value of ESG in business ESG is becoming mainstream for investors around the world and is no longer limited to investment boutiques. Asset managers and owners engage dedicated ESG professionals to assess companies sustainability performance. Investor Relations leaders need to proactively include ESG in the business context in their company’s IR narrative. Often times, companies are not able to make the financial link between their sustainability issues and business strategy. Learn the importance of:
• Understanding the financial materiality of ESG from an investor perspective • Establishing a business case for sustainability so that investors see value in it? • Proving to ESG focused investors that sustainability is embedded in your corporate strategy

Workshop 3 What’s a Sustainability Report without Targets? In the changing sustainability landscape, it is not enough to report what you have done; stakeholders expect you to commit to doing more in the future, and to report transparently against your commitments. Companies that deliver sustainability reports without targets are only telling half the story. Join this breakout session to hear the other half. You will learn:
• Why targets are critical for the credibility for your sustainability reporting • Characteristics of relevant and meaningful targets • Dilemmas in target-setting and reporting and how to address them • Best practice examples of target reporting in Sustainability Reports • What not to do when disclosing targets and performance against targets

Emerging Topics in Sustainability Reporting As our world evolves, and sustainability reporting advances, so reporting must keep pace with new sustainability topics and challenges that companies face. Not all emerging topics are reflected in new regulation. Therefore, reporters must keep their ear to the ground and stay abreast of emerging topics that can help them gain positive reputation and mitigate risk through early disclosure. Current emerging topics on our radar include:
• Employee mental health • Diversity beyond male-female gender • Gender pay-gap reporting • Tax disclosure
Join this session for a discussion of the state of these topics in reporting and other possible topics that you won’t want to overlook in your next report!
