Climate Week Exclusive: Resilience & Innovation Dinner | 22 September

A Climate Week exclusive dinner bringing together a small group of senior leaders to explore how resilience and innovation can be built into consumer goods and retail portfolios - protecting the P&L today and strengthening competitiveness for the future.

In a sector where resilience initiatives often rely on external pressure or subsidy, this evening asks a sharper question: which of your resilience strategies would thrive on commercial merit alone?

The Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) and Newton are hosting an intimate, invite‑only gathering designed for open, honest exchange. With just one table, the conversation will focus on what’s working, where the industry is falling short, and the lessons those gaps reveal.

As the industry accelerates efforts to commercialise resilience and future‑proof supply chains, this dinner offers a rare chance to speak candidly, sharing insights on progress, pitfalls, and the realities shaping the next wave of innovation.

Hosted by: James Cole, Chief Innovation Officer, CISL and Fiona Bennie, Partner, Impact & Innovation, Newton

Date: Tuesday, 22 September 

Time: 19:00 - 22:00 EDT
