Field to Future: The Sustainable Wellness Summit

The Sustainable Wellness Summit is a senior level forum examining how wellness has become one of the most commercially exposed and strategically important areas of the global consumer economy. As wellness claims, ingredient sourcing, and sustainability credentials face unprecedented regulatory, scientific, and investor scrutiny, brands are under growing pressure to prove impact, defend margins, and protect trust. What was once a marketing advantage is now a material business risk.

The Summit brings together decision makers across consumer goods, personal care, nutrition, ingredients, retail, and investment to address the realities shaping the next phase of the wellness economy. It focuses on how organizations can navigate claims compliance, supply chain volatility, scientific validation, and climate exposure while continuing to innovate, differentiate, and grow. Positioned alongside London Climate Action Week, the Sustainable Wellness Summit is not a values led conversation. It is a commercial one. Designed for leaders who need to understand where wellness is creating risk, where it is unlocking value, and how sustainability, science, and transparency are becoming prerequisites for market credibility and long term growth.

Agriculture is now one of the most critical and complex fronts in the climate transition.

Farmers and food systems are being asked to cut emissions, protect natural resources and secure global food supply under increasing economic and environmental pressure.

This London Climate Action Week forum convenes leaders from agri tech, food, finance and policy to focus on what is now required to move from ambition to execution. The discussion centres on how technology, data and capital can be aligned to deliver measurable climate outcomes while remaining commercially viable for farmers.

Hosted by Newsweek, the event builds on the momentum and insight of the LCAW Ag Tech dialogue, shifting the focus toward practical deployment, investment readiness and scaling solutions that are already proving effective in the field.
