AGENDA

Day Two: Mobilize Collective Action

Building on the practical foundations from Day One, Day Two focuses on collective leadership at scale. Through senior-level dialogue and cross-sector engagement, you will align on shared challenges, identify leverage points for systemic change and commit to coordinated action across regions and value chains to deliver impact beyond what any single company can achieve alone. These discussions will be anchored in concrete system challenges, including aligning supply chain expectations, mobilizing capital for long-term value, and accelerating credible transitions across climate, decent work, gender equality, and sustainable finance.
