Global supply chains are under growing pressure from climate change, economic volatility, geopolitical tensions and evolving regulations. In this context, resilience is no longer only about managing risk or meeting compliance requirements. It is about building supply chains that can anticipate, adapt and respond to disruption while continuing to deliver economic, environmental and social value.

Our recent dialogue included a discussion with experts from business, research and sustainability systems and explored how resilience is reshaping sustainability practice and performance across global supply chains. Together, we examined how businesses, investors and sustainability initiatives are responding to growing risks, what it will take to strengthen outcomes for producers and other vulnerable actors, and how sustainability systems are evolving to support long-term resilience.

We explored:

• What resilience means in the context of increasingly complex and uncertain global supply chains
• What it will take to strengthen resilience for producers and other vulnerable actors across supply chains
• How sustainability systems are evolving to support long-term resilience, and the role they should play in the future
