#EPCA59 | Thrive through Turbulence
Join industry leaders at the 59th Annual Meeting Event to explore how agility, resilience, and reinvention can help businesses thrive through turbulence. Engage in discussions on navigating geopolitical challenges, supply chain resilience, and sustainable solutions.

Theme Announced and New Features

At the Board Meeting held on 20th February 2025, we revealed this year's theme for the Annual Meeting and introduced several innovative improvement initiatives.

‘Thrive through Turbulence’

For decades, stability has allowed our industry to plan with confidence. Today, the ground is constantly shifting - geopolitical shocks, volatile energy markets, lack of investment, talent shortage and the accelerating push for sustainability have created unprecedented complexity. Add to this the increasing pressure of deindustrialization in Europe, and companies find themselves in a "management pressure cooker" where short-term urgencies collide with long-term requirements, requiring constant recalibration.

At the 59th Annual Meeting, we will explore how businesses can thrive in turbulent times by embedding agility, resilience, and reinvention into their core strategies. From navigating geopolitical challenges and regulatory shifts, to rethinking supply chain resilience and accelerating sustainable solutions, leaders must adopt a dynamic approach to stay ahead.

Attendees at the event will have the chance to engage in learning, networking, and sharing their best practices for managing responsible businesses and sustainable solutions.

★★★ NEW FEATURES ★★★ 

Based on valuable feedback from our past survey and discussions with members, we’re excited to share the latest enhancements for our Annual Meeting!
