The Missing Middle: Driving the Just Transition Within Supply Chains-CHD2026

This session, hosted by the Laudes Foundation (https://www.laudesfoundation.org/) at Climate Hub Davos 2026 by GreenUp (https://green-up.ch/climatehubdavos/), examines the “missing middle” between ambitious investor climate goals and the practical financial constraints faced by actors in global textile supply chains. It highlights how financial strategies often overlook suppliers’ operational realities, including the need to decarbonise, upgrade technology, meet new regulations, and ensure fair labor conditions. The discussion focuses on identifying these disconnects and exploring opportunities to better align finance with on-the-ground needs to drive a just transition within supply chains. Speakers: Leslie Johnston, CEO, Laudes Foundation. Gauri Sharma, Director, Strategy & Engagement, Fashion Producer Collective. Valerie Kwan, Director, Stewardship, Asia Investor Group on Climate Change. Bob Assenberg, Fund Director, Good Fashion Fund. Olivia Villette, Head of Switzerland and Liechtenstein, Principles for Responsible Investment.
