As companies navigate increasing pressure to make their supply chains more sustainable, one crucial element is often overlooked: climate justice. But what does this mean in a business context, and why should companies care?

Simply put, climate justice is about ensuring that the burden and opportunities of the consequences of climate change are distributed fairly - especially between companies in the Global North and communities in the Global South, where many supply chains begin. This event, co-hosted by GreenBuzz, öbu and WWF Switzerland, will explore how businesses can align their sustainability strategies with fairer, more responsible supply chains - while also managing risks, staying ahead of regulations, and strengthening their market position.

Key challenges:

  • How climate change disrupts supply chains and creates new financial risks.
  • The negative externalities of global supply chains—who is paying the price?
  • How companies can turn sustainability into an advantage instead of just a compliance issue.

Through real-world case studies from different industries, such as food and manufacturing, we'll highlight companies already making progress and show how others can take practical steps to integrate climate justice into procurement, legal, and sustainability strategies, in order to guarantee a liveable environment for all and for future generations.
