Grounded in findings from TSC’s Regenerative Agriculture in Supply Chains report, the workshop will explore how companies are translating regenerative agriculture commitments and metrics into practical action across their supply chains, including how sustainability, finance, and procurement teams align to set priorities, allocate resources, and enable progress even when data and supplier readiness vary.

Sustainability and finance – functions within organizations, execution efforts, and commitments and goals – should not operate in silos. Together, sustainability and finance shape procurement choices, capital planning, innovation pipelines, supply chain incentives, investor relations, and long-term corporate value. In this panel, attendees will learn how finance functions can serve as a strategic partner to sustainability teams, rather than as a barrier to greater budget, inspiring new ways of collaborative thinking about bringing the efforts closer together.

This case-based deep dive brings sustainability and finance leaders together to examine real-world approaches to financing climate and GHG emissions solutions across complex value chains. Participants will explore practical mechanisms, business tradeoffs, and lessons learned for aligning capital, incentives, and supplier engagement to drive measurable impact and financial value.

Using EPR as a concrete example to show how policy translates into financial models, sourcing decisions, and investment opportunities, participants will walk away with a real example of how finance teams evaluate sustainability-aligned decisions and why collaboration between sustainability and financial planning and execution is essential.
