IDH – The Sustainable Trade Initiative, a Netherlands-based non-profit, will recognise 15 years of public-private collaboration at the Action through Collaboration Summit in Geneva, Switzerland where more than 200 committed front-running leaders, ministers, investors, innovators, and practitioners that have the most influence over global value chains to accelerate action towards market transformation will be welcomed. The summit will take place on November 15-16.

The summit is an opportunity to reflect and build on 15 years of shared insights and is a global platform for attendees to learn from each other, share best practices, and stay current on the latest developments, IDH said on its website.

Different sessions will focus on topics such as inequality (living income, living wage, worker safety), gender transformative business-models, innovative investment, climate adaptation and mitigation, and integrated sustainability agendas. Issues including value chain disruptions, the EU CSDDD, Swiss DD, and ESG reporting will be addressed, as well as shared learnings from across sectors and value chains. As fitting the aim of the summit, solutions for action will take centre stage.

The summit will also feature ample opportunities to connect with fellow practitioners, discuss shared learnings, and discover new partnerships. Besides post-session networking receptions on both days of the programme, the conference area will host interactive experiences designed to spark discussion around the impact collaboration. These include a virtual reality experience that allows participants to explore an Indonesian palm oil landscape first-hand, as well as an interactive exhibit celebrating 15 years of IDH partnerships.
