The Business Case for Sustainability: Securing Decarbonization ROI in an Unpredictable Global Landscape
Wednesday, 10 December, 14:55 – 15:20 / SolutionXchange stage
Led by Philipp Meister, Global Fashion & Sporting goods + Chemicals Lead at Quantis, the session will explore how companies can strengthen competitiveness through sustainability — turning regulatory readiness and decarbonization strategies into measurable business value.
Amid rising regulatory pressure, mounting environmental risks, and an increasingly volatile economic and geopolitical landscape, the foundations of competitiveness are shifting. In the GCC and beyond, cost efficiency, business resilience, and regulatory readiness are emerging as critical levers for long-term advantage.
This session explores how to evolve the strategic positioning of a business in sustainability terms and turn compliance into competitiveness. It outlines key regulatory trends and regional dynamics, and highlights how a smart approach to sustainability reduces financial, reputational and operational risk exposure. The session also spotlights ROI-driven decarbonization, where cost and carbon savings align, and examines how sustainability digitalization is opening new pathways to compete in a decarbonizing world.
