About the event
Why does the Global Sustainability Summit take place?
With over 30 years of experience, a presence in 100+ countries, and a global team of 350+ staff, Preferred by Nature operates at a scale where responsibility and complexity go hand in hand. Our work spans 36.7 million hectares of certified forest land, engages 5,500+ organisations (including leading multinational companies and major retail and consumer brands), and impacts the lives of 890,000+ farmers, workers, and foresters worldwide.
We are relevant. We impact. And together, we’re ready to turn bold ideas into real-world action, understanding today, shaping tomorrow, and leading change.
Alignment at the Scale We Operate
Operating at a global scale requires clarity of purpose, strategic coherence, and the ability to continuously adapt to a rapidly evolving sustainability landscape. The Global Sustainability Summit reflects Preferred by Nature’s commitment to remaining mission-driven, forward-looking, and globally relevant.
By convening diverse voices and integrating external perspectives, the Summit strengthens collaboration, sharpens strategic direction, and reinforces the credibility and impact of our programmes and partnerships. It ensures that our ambitions match the scale of today’s challenges, and that we continue to deliver practical, trusted solutions for nature, climate, and people worldwide.

A Global Gathering Point Designed to Strengthen Direction and Long-Term Impact
The Global Sustainability Summit is not an open or public event. It is a curated space designed to support organisational alignment, learning, and informed decision-making, reflecting the rigour, reflection, and ambition that underpin our work.
While participation is limited, the Summit’s outcomes and direction are relevant to the broader ecosystem of partners, funders, and stakeholders with whom we engage.
