At SB’26 San Diego, you’ll get the insights, practical tools, community expertise, and high-value connections you need to keep your business future-fit. Guided by the All Rise theme, this year’s program brings leaders across functions together to explore the latest in materials innovation, product and packaging optimization, AI and technology, supply chain management, marketing, consumer engagement, governance and business integration, and emerging business models.

Join Cascale for the session Rethinking Brand x Manufacturer Collaboration on June 8.

This facilitated, interactive workshop is designed to bring a pre-competitive, peer-to-peer lens to one of the most critical (and often missing) voices in sustainability: manufacturers. Participants will explore how stronger brand–manufacturer engagement can unlock facility-level environmental performance, risk assessment, resilience, and innovation, and identify where shared progress stalls when key voices are left out. Note: This session will be held under Chatham House Rule.

Learning Outcomes:

• Identify friction points in current engagement models
• Map shared risks and incentives across the value chain
• Design one concrete shift in engagement that could accelerate impact

Speakers:

• Mara Ley, Sr. Manager, Sustainability, Vuori
• Michael Colarossi, Head of Enterprise Sustainability, Avery Dennison
• Joleen Ong, Sr. Director, Brand & Retailer Activation, Cascale
• Katie Hess, Head of Better Buying Product, Cascale
