Commodities Global Summit
The slowing global economy and the ongoing war in Ukraine have highlighted the geopolitical fault lines that run through many key markets for raw materials, and the fragility of global supply chains. Senior figures in the industry will debate the impact that global conflict is having on energy policy and commodity prices. Against this backdrop, the challenge to reach net zero remains. The power crunch in Europe has highlighted the weak spots in the world’s energy system, and prompted a surge in coal demand. The energy crisis also has important lessons for the future, underscoring the importance of investing in new sources of supply. For commodity traders, this fast-changing and complex backdrop offers both opportunities and challenges.
Now in its 12th year, the Commodities Global Summit has established itself as the pre-eminent gathering of senior commodity executives, traders and financiers. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Hôtel Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne, the in-person experience and quality of networking is truly unrivalled. See the companies in attendance in 2022.
