Ghana to host landmark global supply chain summit as EU deforestation deadline looms
Ghana will host a major international gathering of supply chain leaders, government officials and sustainability experts on 9 June 2026 in Accra. The ISEAL Global Sustainability Symposium, convened by ISEAL, will bring together producers, policymakers and businesses from across the world.
The choice of Accra as host city is deliberate. The European Union's Deforestation Regulation is now confirmed for full application by 30 December 2026. "In Ghana and across global supply chains, resilience is not an abstract concept. It is a daily reality for producers navigating climate shocks, price volatility and shifting demands. Policy, markets and sustainability systems need to work better together to respond to these challenges," said Karin Kreider, Executive Director, ISEAL. Sessions will look at what resilience means from a producer's standpoint, how credible certification and standards systems can support market access, and where better alignment is needed between voluntary standards, national policy and regulation.
COCOBOD's Ghana Cocoa Traceability System, which has been rolling out across the 2025/2026 crop season to link every bag of cocoa from farm plot to port, will feature prominently in the discussions. Registration is open at isealalliance.org. The event is hosted with support from the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
