Global trade is being reshaped by climate pressures, changing market expectations, and new sustainability regulations. Across sectors, the question is no longer whether supply chains must evolve, but how to build systems that are more resilient, more transparent, and more inclusive.

At IDH, we work to make sustainable production the norm rather than the exception. Doing so requires strong partnerships, practical innovation, catalytic finance, and collective leadership across value chains.

SUTRA- The Sustainable Trade Summit – was created as a platform where those partnerships can take shape and scale. It brings together leaders from government, business, finance, technology, and civil society to advance the conversations and collaborations needed to shape the future of sourcing.

For India, this moment presents a significant opportunity. As a major sourcing, production, and consumption economy, India can help lead the development of supply chains that are not only competitive, but trusted.

That is the spirit of SUTRA 2026: Sourcing with Purpose: Building Trusted Supply Chains – Traceable, Fair, Future-Fit. Because the supply chains of the future must do more than comply. They must be able to demonstrate credible origin, create fairer value, and remain fit for a world defined by climate, market, and regulatory change.

Building on the momentum of previous editions, SUTRA 2026 will move beyond dialogue toward action – unlocking the partnerships, innovations, and investments needed to accelerate sustainable supply chains at scale.

We invite you to join us in shaping that future.
