From Climate Risk to Supply Chain Resilience ​Scaling High-Integrity Insetting in Agricultural Supply Chains ​A private Climate Week NYC breakfast with PUR, The Hershey Company and the High Integrity Insetting Accelerator, hosted at Bregal Sphere. ​ ​About the event: ​For companies dependent on agricultural commodities, climate risk is increasingly becoming supply risk. ​Extreme weather, water stress, ecosystem degradation and pressure on farmer livelihoods are making the resilience of sourcing landscapes an increasingly important business issue. ​The question is shifting from whether companies need to invest in greater resilience to how they can do so effectively and at scale. ​High-integrity insetting offers one route: enabling companies to act directly within the farming systems, landscapes and communities their supply chains depend on — while delivering benefits for climate, nature and people. ​But moving from commitments and pilots to programmes that can deliver at scale remains challenging. ​At the same time, the enabling environment is evolving. Standards and corporate climate frameworks are creating clearer pathways for Scope 3 action, giving companies greater confidence to move forward. More regional approaches could also make it easier for global businesses to move beyond individual projects and scale credible programmes across complex sourcing landscapes. ​Join PUR, The Hershey Company and the High Integrity Insetting Accelerator for a private Climate Week NYC breakfast bringing together senior corporate leaders and practitioners to explore what it really takes to build more resilient agricultural supply chains — and the role high-integrity insetting can play in getting there. ​The morning will bring together complementary perspectives from corporate implementation, field delivery and the wider insetting ecosystem, focusing on four practical questions: ​Where are climate and nature risks already becoming material supply-chain risks — and how should companies respond? ​What does high-integrity insetting look like on the ground — and how can programmes deliver for climate, nature and people while strengthening sourcing resilience? ​How are evolving standards and Scope 3 frameworks giving companies greater confidence to act — and what could regional approaches unlock for global businesses? ​What will it take to move from pilots and individual interventions to long-term implementation at scale? ​A short panel discussion will be followed by guided peer conversations and networking over breakfast. ​The session is designed to be practical, candid and interactive — moving beyond ambition to discuss what companies are learning from implementation and what will be required to reach meaningful scale. ​ ​Speakers: ​Welcome remarks ​Agustin Silvani Managing Partner, Bregal Sphere ​Panel discussion ​Whitney Mayer Head of Global Sustainability, The Hershey Company ​Daniel Klier CEO, PUR ​Elijah Innes-Wimsatt Director of Insetting, Conservation International & Co-lead, High-Integrity Insetting Accelerator ​ ​Agenda: ​8:15 – 8:45 AM Welcome breakfast & networking ​8:45 – 9:15 AM Panel discussion From Climate Risk to Supply Chain Resilience: Scaling High-Integrity Insetting ​9:15 – 10.00 AM Guided peer discussions & networking ​ ​Who should attend?: ​This breakfast is designed for senior leaders working across: ​Corporate sustainability, climate and Scope 3 ​Procurement and responsible sourcing ​Agricultural supply chains and sourcing strategy ​Regenerative agriculture ​Nature and biodiversity ​Insetting strategy and implementation ​It will be particularly relevant for companies with significant agricultural supply chains that are looking to strengthen sourcing resilience, investing in regenerative or nature-based approaches, or considering how to move existing programmes to greater scale. ​
