International Executive Programme on Sustainable Sourcing & Trade

The International Executive Programme (IEP) on Sustainable Sourcing & Trade is organised by the International Trade Centre (ITC) and the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership in partnership with Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform (SAI Platform). The programme is built in collaboration with a network of leading academic institutions and practitioners in the field of sustainable agriculture and global value chains.

Building on last year’s successful delivery of the IEP which brought together 62 professionals from around the world, tackling different aspects of sustainability, we continue to offer an engaging programme for professionals across the food industry.

The key topics of the IEP 2023 taking place between 26th September and 7th November include:

Megatrends impacting supply chains globally


Nature positive economy: moving towards carbon neutral and climate resilient agri-food systems, including tools and solutions to improve the sustainable management of supply chains.


Regenerative Agriculture: from theory to practice: learning from the field.


Sustainability leadership as a key skill set to manage sustainable development.

A practical and innovative component has been added to this year’s edition of IEP: a field trip hosted by Veracruz in Portugal, to experience Regenerative Agriculture in practice and learn d directly from experts and farmers.
