CSO+1 Breakfast: The Unusual Suspects

REQUEST INVITE

Our annual invitation-only farm-fresh breakfast kickoff to Climate Week. This year, each Chief Sustainability Officer must bring a counterpart from their company to secure a seat: a business leader from procurement, finance, sales, or operations. Sustainability goals cannot be achieved without cross-functional alliances, yet it is rare that everyone sits down at a single table to discuss commercials, contracts, and coordinated action. If you’re interested in driving real change and practical business value with your peers, customers and suppliers... pull up a chair.

9:00 AM - 10:15 AM

Building Stronger Supply Chains (Over Breakfast)

REQUEST INVITE

The most important deals in the food system don't happen on stage. They happen around a table. Savor is hosting a working breakfast for ingredient suppliers, manufacturers, and brands who are serious about building more resilient, sustainable supply chains. Come hungry for good food and for the kind of honest, roll-up-your-sleeves conversation that actually moves things forward.

10:00 AM - 11:15 AM

Faster, Together: Unlocking the Next Phase of Sustainable Dairy Transformation

REQUEST INVITE

The future of food systems will be shaped not by ambition alone, but by the speed at which we can turn it into action.Transforming how dairy is produced is essential to delivering sustainable nutrition at scale. What if the question is no longer whether dairy can be sustainable—but what is holding us back from moving faster? This interactive session brings together leaders from across the value chain—from farmers and suppliers to NGOs, policymakers and industry partners—alongside the perspectives of the Nestlé Dairy Plan, to explore what a truly sustainable dairy system could look like by 2035 and the critical levers needed today to unlock progress.

10:30 AM - 2:00 PM

UNFI Climate Summit

REQUEST INVITE

While the case for climate action is clear, execution depends on how effectively it connects to commercial priorities. This session bridges that gap by connecting climate ambition to real purchasing and merchandising decisions across the food and agriculture value chain.Hosted by UNFI – North America’s premier grocery distributor of natural, organic, and specialty foods – this summit blends insights from practitioners with structured table discussions between CPG and food retail partners. Together, participants will explore what resonates with commercial teams, where friction exists, and how to better align sustainability with growth objectives.

11:00 AM - 12:15 PM

From Models to Markets: How Water Risk Science Is Reshaping Livestock Supply Chains

REQUEST INVITE

This Climate Week NYC event, co-hosted by The Nature Conservancy and FAIRR, builds directly on FAIRR's forthcoming Water Risk report, extending that conversation from the investor community into a corporate and landscape-focused audience. Together, we'll spotlight how FAIRR's water risk monitoring tool, strengthened by TNC's global drought risk models from the Archetypes for Nature-Based Adaptation report, is helping quantify the magnitude of climate impacts on feed sourcing, livestock operations, and supply chain resilience.

1:00 PM - 2:15 PM

The Business Case for Investing in Resilient Agriculture

REQUEST INVITE

The entire food system – from the farms and ranches to household brands – is under threat from the worsening impacts of a warming planet. To protect their bottom lines and build resilience in the global food system, companies can play a critical role in supporting producers to adopt more sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices. Some companies are already providing financial and technical assistance and signaling demand for products made using these practices, but more are needed to enable an industry-wide transformation. This workshop, hosted by Ceres, will provide clarity to companies and their investors on the business case for investing in resilient agriculture.

1:30 PM - 2:45 PM

Foodscapes as Living Laboratories: Learnings from Scaling Regenerative Food Systems

REQUEST INVITE

This Climate Week NYC event, hosted by The Nature Conservancy, will share key insights from three years of implementing the Foodscapes strategy, where six regional landscapes across the globe have functioned as "living laboratories" for advancing regenerative agriculture. The session will engage partners working on farmer adoption, finance, and measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) to reflect on what it takes to scale, and explore how the Foodscapes Accelerator is carrying proven approaches beyond the current portfolio to unlock the next horizon of impact.

3:00 PM - 4:15 PM

Common Ground: Bridging Food Strategy and Farmland Capital

REQUEST INVITE

Natural resource investors and the capital they manage — institutions like Manulife Investment Management and PSP Investments — own tens of millions of acres of the farmland food supply chains depend on. They've already built rigorous, scalable sustainability infrastructure around those assets.

8:30 AM - 9:45 AM

Partnerships to Unlock Finance for Regenerative Agriculture

REQUEST INVITE

A leading barrier to expanding regenerative agriculture is access to finance that is aligned with farmers’ needs and long-term value creation and resilience. The $500 billion in U.S. agricultural credit is a powerful lever of change, but it must be unlocked to support regenerative transitions through catalytic partnerships. This session, hosted by Environmental Defense Fund, will bring together agricultural finance institutions, the agrifood value chain, philanthropy and impact investors to explore how partnerships can drive financial innovation for regenerative agriculture.
