The Cascale Annual Meeting brings together senior leaders from across the value chain to align on the real challenges shaping the industry — from decarbonization and data to policy, capital, and buyer–supplier dynamics — and the models needed to solve them at scale.
Expect candid discussions, sharper perspectives, and direct access to the people shaping how this industry operates next. Join us in Athens, September 15-17, 2026.
The Theme – Value Chain Transformation: Who Pays, Who Profits, and What Changes
Who pays for transformation? Who profits from it? And what must change?
As pressure mounts to decarbonize, strengthen supply chain resilience, improve working conditions, and respond to growing regulatory demands, the challenge is no longer ambition — it is execution. Rising costs, competing priorities, and misaligned incentives continue to slow progress across the value chain.
At the center of the Cascale Annual Meeting 2026 is one defining question:
What commercial and partnership models will help brands and manufacturers prioritize, finance, and scale solutions for decarbonization, resilient supply chains, and decent work?
Bringing together sustainability, sourcing, procurement, finance, and executive leaders, the Annual Meeting will explore what must change in partnerships, investment, and accountability to make transformation commercially viable and achievable at scale.
