Which Type of Transparency Delivers the Greatest Competitive Advantage?
Data Space Berlin | 23–24 February 2026 | DE

WHAT IS THE GTF FORUM?

The GTF Forum “Supply Chains” examines how evolving transparency obligations under the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), the CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive), and broader ESG frameworks are shaping new standards in responsible sourcing and how companies that proactively adapt can transform these compliance challenges into strategic market advantages. The spotlight is on new compliance obligations, digital transparency solutions, and innovative strategies that help companies make their supply chains more sustainable, resilient, and future-proof – covering topics from supply chain due diligence laws and CO₂ tracking to ESG reporting, sustainable procurement processes, and strategic partnerships.

This two-day event brings together experts and decision-makers in a curated setting featuring panels, keynotes, bootcamps, pitches, and targeted networking formats. With up to 150 participants, the GTF Forum offers a space for in-depth dialogue, cross-sector collaboration, and actionable insights.
