    Tariffs may grab headlines, but they’re only one part of a much bigger story. In today’s volatile geopolitical and economic landscape, unpredictability is the new normal, and global supply chains are under constant pressure to adapt.
    Bringing together top voices from logistics, retail, port authorities, and policy we will explore how organisations can stay agile in the face of shifting trade rules, political uncertainty, and operational disruption. Our panellists will unpack how to navigate tariff changes, and how to use them as a strategic advantage rather than a setback. It’s a wake-up call for building disruption-proof strategies, finding opportunity in adversity, and future-proofing operations in a world where the only certainty is change.

    Scope 3 emissions present one of the biggest challenges to securing board approval for climate targets. These emissions, which occur upstream in the supply chain or downstream in product use, are largely outside a company’s direct control and can feel like a daunting uncertainty.
    With Scope 3 accounting for 70-90% of a company’s carbon footprint and mandatory reporting on the rise, addressing these emissions is essential for achieving Net Zero goals and mitigating future risks. Success requires a shift from traditional corporate planning to embrace collaboration, engagement, and innovation—starting with the supply chain. While challenging, it is a feasible and necessary step towards a sustainable future.
