Negotiating through commodity volatility: Balancing short-term pressures with long-term value | FMCG roundtable, Paris
Back to events
The Gap Partnership is pleased to invite a select group of senior FMCG leaders to a French-language roundtable in Paris.
Commodity volatility, sustained cost pressure and shifting retailer dynamics continue to test commercial models. Through peer discussion and expert perspectives, participants will consider how leading organisations are balancing immediate demands with longer-term goals.
We will be joined by guest speaker Tom Bundgaard, VP Forecasting at Expana, whose team produces prescriptive commodity price forecasts looking up to three years ahead. Tom will share what is moving markets now and how that shapes the way you plan, source and negotiate.
What we'll explore through a negotiation lens:
-
Commodity markets and their influence on negotiation | The drivers behind price shifts and what they mean for your costs
-
Resilience and trade-offs | Protecting margins and managing competing commercial priorities
-
Future-state planning | Backcasting from 2027 to prioritise current decisions and trade-offs
Places are limited to support open discussion and meaningful peer exchange.
