Programme overview
This year’s programme will include an interactive two and a half day conference followed by field trip opportunities to experience sustainability innovations first-hand.
The opening ceremony of our conference will include representatives from the Brazilian government and important players in the sugarcane industry. We will also offer updates about Bonsucro, such as our new Production Standard, our latest impact data, details of our current projects and more.
We will take a deep dive into some of the most pressing sustainability issues for the sugarcane sector. We will explore how to drive the demand for sustainable sugarcane and its derivatives, provide examples of collaborating with the finance sector to drive sustainability, and look at ESG metrics and reporting.
We’ll cover traditional markets, new markets, and the latest innovation on how to use sugarcane. We will address vital environmental topics such as water security, regenerative agriculture, and biodiversity. We will also tackle social issues in sugarcane and hear from human rights defenders and indigenous communities. We will explore how to make grievance mechanisms more effective, how to ensure worker voices are heard, ways to drive decent work in the sector, and what support smallholder farmers need.
These themes will be offered in plenary presentations, panel discussions and Q&A sessions. We will also offer a selection of breakout sessions for focused discussions, interviews, and interactive conversations
