FT Commodities Global Summit 2020 | Financial Times | 28 September 2020 | GLOBAL DIGITAL CONFERENCE

The FT Commodities Global Summit is the pre-eminent event for senior executives, traders and financiers and the 2020 agenda will address the topics that matter most to the industry.

As the global economy slowly returns to life after the coronavirus pandemic, the biggest issue of the age continues to loom large: climate change. Ignoring global warming is not an option and to succeed, traders will have to play a part in the shift to cleaner forms of energy. This means developing sustainable business models and new relationships with key stakeholders, from financing banks to the end consumer and civil society. At the same time, they face a world that has been radically reshaped by Covid-19, a volatile geopolitical backdrop and rapid technological advances - changing the rules of global trade and bringing greater transparency to markets.
