From Guest of Honour Ms Indranee Rajah’s keynote calling for credible standards to unlock sustainable finance, to the Fireside Chat highlighting how businesses and youth are driving real change, the Summit sparked open, solutions-driven dialogue across sectors.

Key themes that emerged:

💡Across every plenary and breakout sessions, one message stood out: collaboration is the currency of progress.

💡 Credible standards and data transparency are vital for mobilising sustainable finance and investor trust.

💡 Social sustainability, especially human rights in the supply chain, is becoming increasingly prioritised.

💡 Smart capital and strong governance are key to translating ambition into action.

💡 Biodiversity and nature are now central to business strategy and not a side note.

💡 AI and technology are transforming how companies measure, manage and scale sustainability impact.

💡 Supply chain decarbonisation is a collective responsibility across sectors and borders.

The Summit wrapped up with a lively debate on the future of carbon markets and a candid closing plenary on how AI is reshaping sustainability, followed by closing remarks from our newly appointed Executive Director, David Fogarty, who reminded us that progress happens when business, government, and society move forward together with purpose.
