The Consumer Goods Forum‘s Sustainable Retail Summit marks its tenth anniversary next February, with the 2026 event set to take place in the same city as the first edition, back in 2016 – Paris, France.
Featuring the theme ‘From Innovation to Impact: Scaling Solutions for People and Planet’, and building on the momentum of this year’s event in London, the 2026 Sustainable Retail Summit will run from 3 to 5 February, and welcome industry leaders from across the retail and consumer goods landscape to discuss practical steps toward more sustainable business practices.
‘For its 10th anniversary edition, SRS will shine a spotlight on how leaders can move beyond pilots and pledges toward real impact – reshaping supply chains, strengthening communities, and protecting ecosystems,’ as the organisers put it. ‘Speakers will share strategic insights and practical tools you can take back to your organisation to drive meaningful change.
‘More than a conference, the Sustainable Retail Summit is a platform for decisive, collaborative action – focused on turning innovation into lasting impact.’
