Speaking at:

Canadian retailers are operating in a time of profound transformation—facing climate-related risks, evolving consumer expectations, regulatory pressures, and supply chain volatility. In this context, sustainability is no longer optional; it’s a strategic lever for resilience, operational excellence, and long-term growth. This session will explore how leading retailers are integrating sustainability practices and proven solutions into core business strategies to mitigate risk, unlock efficiencies, and drive measurable impact. This panel discussion will focus on retail transformation and how sustainability is a catalyst for profitability and competitive advantage within organizations and across value chains.
