  • Leading brands have a responsibility on the social and environmental impact of their activities. So how can brands leverage responsibility and sustainability to grow their business? 
  • How supply chain traceability and product circularity strategies around Reuse, Repair and Recycle as well as digital waste, are becoming increasingly popular. 
  • How can brands ensure they’re perceived as authentic and honest in their sustainability claims? Enforcing transparency and explainability. Metrics and UX experiences that make sustainability credible and actionable.
  • How can brands engage individually with customers in terms of sustainability?
