In 2026, the Responsible Supply Chain Conference brought together a senior, cross-sector audience focused on turning responsible supply chain commitments into measurable operational action.
From Commitments to Implementation
Supply chain leaders are under growing pressure to deliver resilience, efficiency, sustainability and accountability at the same time.
Regulation is tightening. Customer expectations are rising. Procurement requirements are changing. Scope 3 reporting is becoming more demanding. Circular economy principles are moving from aspiration to implementation.
At the same time, organisations must manage cost, supplier performance, data quality, risk and operational complexity.
Responsible Supply Chain Conference 2027 will focus on how businesses respond in practice.
The programme will move beyond high-level discussion and explore the decisions, tools, partnerships and operating models required to build more responsible, transparent and resilient supply chains.
What Delegates Will Take Back
Delegates will leave with practical insight into:
How other organisations are implementing responsible supply chain strategies in the real world
How to engage suppliers and improve participation, transparency and data quality

How to embed circularity, packaging reform and responsible sourcing into operational decision-making
How technology, data and digital tools can support assurance, traceability and better decision-making
How to balance sustainability goals with cost, resilience, procurement and commercial performance

2026 Highlights
Responsible Supply Chain Conference 2026 brought together a senior, cross-sector audience for one focused day of discussion, case studies and networking.
The 2026 programme explored responsible business conduct, due diligence, net zero, circularity, PPWR readiness, packaging data, technology, renewable energy, certification, supplier monitoring, Scope 3, freight decarbonisation, book-and-claim and responsible resilience.

Who attends
Responsible Supply Chain Conference London brings together the people responsible for delivery, assurance and governance of supply chain sustainability:
- Brand owners: retailers, manufacturers, hospitality and consumer brands
- Logistics and supply chain operators: 3PLs/4PLs, transport and warehousing leaders
- Solution providers: technology, data, sustainability, compliance and risk specialists
- Policy and public sector: regulators and stakeholders shaping expectations
The conference
Across one intensive day, the Responsible Supply Chain Conference focuses on the decisions that determine whether responsibility is real in practice: product and packaging design choices, supplier due diligence and assurance, credible emissions reporting and reduction, operational decarbonisation and the operating model required to embed progress.
Key themes
Net zero and Scope 3 • Circularity, eco-design and EPR • Human rights due diligence • Nature and TNFD • Data, traceability and assurance • Skills and operating model
Why it matters
From raw material extraction to last-mile delivery, supply chains are being tested by disruption, higher disclosure expectations and growing scrutiny of labour, sourcing and environmental impact. Organisations that can evidence progress, manage risk in their supplier base and convert sustainability goals into operational execution will be better placed to protect reputation, maintain access to markets and build resilience.
CPD Hours
This conference offers 5 CPD hours, accredited by The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT).
