Roundtable

Sustainability Around the Globe

A Cross-Regional Dialogue on a Sustainable, Competitive, and Resilient World Economy

  • 11.45 AM to 13.15 PM | 14 October 2025

 

Context

In an increasingly fragmented global landscape, we face a critical choice: do we succumb to isolationism, or do we continue to build a united force for a transition that is responsible, sustainable, and commercially viable? Alongside other world-leading networks at this Summit, we choose the latter. 

 

ABOUT THE ROUNDTABLE

By attending this Roundtable, you will engage with world-class organizations that serve as the voice for pioneers, investors, and changemakers, some of whom have spearheaded the sustainability movement for over 30 years. These leaders will explain how they contribute to prosperity and sustainability by strengthening supply chains and economic security, making the ecological and social transition desirable, advancing a conducive clean and digital transition, and making circularity the new normal

Following a constructive exchange on complex global and local trends, these leading organizations will explain how —in different parts of the world— they enable leaders and practitioners in their professional capacity, coordinate collaborative efforts on shared challenges, and contribute to political system change. This dialogue is particularly vital today, as we ask each regional representative how sustainability is being challenged by current geopolitical turmoil and what is required to keep the movement thriving.  

To conclude this cross-regional dialogue, we will hear from EU representatives on how the upcoming “Made in Europe”, Industry Accelerated, Circular Economy and Innovation, and Europe’s new strategic partnerships and trade agreements can be a lever for more sustainable, competitive and resilient economies across the world.
