Where Scope 3 meets business resilience: Turn supply chain decarbonization into long-term business value
Climate risk is business risk. As supply chain disruption and energy volatility intensify, Scope 3 is no longer just about emissions reduction. It is core to future-proofing supply chains, managing risk and driving commercial value.
From mitigation to adaptation, this conference will assess the business case for climate action. Through practical case studies, we’ll explore how Scope 3 action can deliver competitive advantage, operational stability, and long-term growth.

The focus
The focus
Mitigation
Most of a company's carbon footprint sits in the supply chain. That makes Scope 3 the hardest part of net zero to solve, and with the most business value on the table. We'll cover what's actually working: the investments paying back fastest, and how buyers and suppliers are sharing the cost.
Adaptation
Floods, droughts, and heat stress are already hitting balance sheets. Insurance costs are rising. Supply chains are breaking. Leading companies are adapting now, before the next disruption forces their hand. We'll look at what climate resilience actually costs, and what it saves.
