Reuters Events has announced its speaker lineup for its forthcoming Sustainability Europe 2026 conference, taking place in London on 20 and 21 October.
The event, which will bring together senior sustainability, procurement and supply chain executives to discuss regulatory change, supply chain resilience, sustainability strategy and data, will welcome more than 300 sustainability and business leaders, of which around 75% are corporate sustainability executives and 60% are C-suite executives.
The programme will focus on five broad areas: sustainability strategy and value; new regulations and reporting; supply chain and data; nature and biodiversity; and circularity.
Confirmed speakers
Confirmed speakers include Nathalie Alquier, Chief Sustainability Officer at Danone; Christine Maria Betz, Chief Sustainability Officer at BSH Home Appliances Group; Sam de Frates, VP Sustainability and Procurement at Mars; Marissa Saretsky, Chief Sustainability Officer at Opella; Inigo Larraya, Chief Sustainability Officer Europe at L’Oréal; and Pip Murray, Chief Executive Officer of Pip & Nut.

Elsewhere, leading executives from Evoca Group, Grifols, Sonova, Specsavers, Duracell, Louis Vuitton, AstraZeneca, Primark, Tradewind and Volkswagen Group are also set to participate, along with many more.
The event will also feature Reuters IMPACT sessions led by Reuters journalists, which will examine sustainability issues through discussions with business leaders and include editorial briefings from the Reuters newsroom.
‘Strategic advantage’
‘The risks are real, the targets are urgent, and Europe’s sustainability leaders are meeting both head-on,’ Reuters Events said on the event website.
‘This is not a moment for consensus. It is a moment for senior practitioners who are defending sustainability’s commercial value, turning compliance into strategic advantage, and making the decisions now that will determine whether 2030 targets are met or quietly abandoned.’
