Exploring E-Commerce at the European Business Summit

The European Business Summit brings together the leading figures in the world of business, politics and research, with the aim of exploring some of the key issues of our time. Held from May 22 to 23, it will take place in Brussels at the Egmont Palace.

This year’s event, titled ‘Europe: The Way Forward’, takes place in a time of change – not only in terms of politics and the future of the EU but also the digital revolution characterising the way we live our lives and do business.

It is for this reason that we have proudly taken on the role of key partner at the Round Table event titled Digitalisation of the Internal Market: Retail & E-Commerce. It will be an ideal opportunity to explore the opportunities represented by the digital revolution.

Growth in e-commerce is expected to continue, with retailers increasingly making use of support from specialists in their field such as DS Smith. We act as packaging partners to some of Europe’s largest retail brands.

Isabel Rocher, Head of E-Commerce Solutions, will be leading the discussion on behalf of DS Smith. Writing for Packaging News in the UK, she has previously voiced her concerns about retail-related industry issues such as excess packaging and recycling, and will again be discussing the complexities of e-commerce growth at the European Business Summit. 

In our industry, like any other, we are living through uncertain times. Navigating the way through informed choices is vital to ensure a prosperous and sustainable future. Open and constructive dialogue between partners will enable innovation and support creative problem solving.

By taking part in milestone events such as the European Business Summit, DS Smith continues its mission to drive forward discussions around sustainability and supply cycle thinking to enable business growth.
