PLM Webinar: the role of private labels as a driver of sustainability, local supply chains and competitiveness

PLM – Private Label Magazine, the publication of Edizioni DM dedicated to private labels and their key players, is organising the webinar “Private labels as a driver of sustainability for local areas”, scheduled for Tuesday 29 September 2026, from 10.30 to 12.30.

The event will bring together some key market players to analyse, through data, case studies and real-life experiences, how private labels can help make the entire value chain more responsible.

The role of private labels

Private labels are no longer merely a tool for convenience and product range differentiation: today, they can become one of the most effective tools for accelerating the transition towards more sustainable supply chains, enhancing local production and creating new forms of collaboration between retailers and industry.

The topics

One of the central topics will be relations with suppliers and local supply chains. This collaboration is becoming increasingly strategic for reducing environmental impact, supporting local economies and responding to the growing demand for product transparency and traceability.

The webinar will also provide an opportunity to understand how sustainability and the enhancement of local areas can be transformed from social responsibility objectives into competitive factors for retailers and producers, generating value for businesses and consumers.

The speakers

The topics will be discussed by Alex Chiesa, senior manager client sales & insights at Circana, Roberto Romboli, Mdd development director at Dit, Nathalie Jacquet, commercial director at Eurial Italia, and Marco De Angelis, quality manager at Todis.

The discussion will be moderated by Maria Teresa Manuelli, editorial director of Edizioni DM, who comments: "With this webinar, we want to give a voice to those who work every day to make private labels a driver of development for local areas and supply chains. Not merely a pricing tool, but a driver of sustainability and relations between industry and retail. The discussion between Circana, Dit, Eurial Italia and Todis will allow us to look at the topic from different and complementary perspectives, with data and concrete cases".

PLM aims to offer industry professionals a space for discussion on the transformations affecting the private-label market, bringing together competitiveness, environmental and social sustainability, innovation and the development of local economies.
