Overview

ESG ambition is everywhere. But ambition without execution? It is just noise — missed opportunities, fragmented data, and empty reporting that fails to move the needle on enterprise value.

For the leaders who refuse to settle for rhetoric, this session cuts through the hype. Toby Martin Hughes, Global Digital Product Director – Sustainability, R&D & Data (AI) at Reckitt, will reveal how a global organisation is architecting the digital backbone that turns ESG from aspiration into measurable business impact. From AI-powered R&D insights to product strategies that embed sustainability at every stage, Toby exposes what it takes to operationalise ESG at scale.

Expect to challenge assumptions and rethink your approach to sustainability as Toby explores:

•    How to design a data and digital architecture that actually drives enterprise-wide ESG goals.
•    The role of AI in predicting, measuring, and optimising ESG outcomes  beyond static reports.
•    Strategies to embed sustainability into R&D and product lifecycles, making it core to innovation.
•    The operating models and governance structures required to scale ESG globally — without adding complexity.
•    How to align cross-functional teams across technology, finance, operations, and sustainability for true enterprise impact.
•    Turning ESG data into real commercial and strategic advantage, not just compliance metrics.

If your organisation wants to stop talking about ESG and start turning ambition into enterprise value, this session is your blueprint for building the capability and the confidence to make it happen.
