View agenda

Scope 3 and supply chain decarbonization

Supply chain decarbonization is critical to manage risk, strengthen supply chains and protect long-term business value. Over two days, we’ll highlight how leading businesses are performing against net-zero targets.

What are the concrete actions business can take in the short, medium and long-term? Where are the wins for buyers and suppliers? Where does supply chain investment deliver the greatest ROI? And how do you translate emissions data into decisions that move the needle?

We’ll assess how a robust climate roadmap can align the full value chain around cost reduction, supply chain optimization and competitive advantage.

Climate risk and adaptation

Climate action isn’t cheap. But inaction costs far more.

Fires. Floods. Droughts. Water scarcity. Crop failure. Factory closures. Heat stress. Price volatility. Supply disruption. Rising insurance costs. Financial exposure. Legal risk.

Climate risk is not a hypothetical.

Smart companies are adapting business practices now. To save money, manage risk and ensure long-term commercial success. We’ll assess what that looks like in practice, and what it takes to build a business that is genuinely ‘climate resilient’.

Energy transition

We’ll assess what energy security means across the value chain and the role of the private sector to catalyse clean energy investment.

Through case studies and industry examples, we’ll explore how Power Purchase Agreements, shared investments and effective partnerships can drive capacity, resilience and ROI.

What sets this event apart

Off the record

Held under the Chatham House rule to promote candid conversation that drives real progress. The hard questions, uncomfortable truths and reality of mistakes. This isn’t a PR platform. It is a space for genuine dialogue.

No PowerPoint or scripts

No presentations, no jargon, no scripted panels. All sessions are structured for dynamic discussion and audience participation.

Networking that works

We cap attendance to ensure an intimate forum that brings together the right stakeholders. Every conversation is relevant. Every meeting is valuable. And every connection matters.

Practical, hands-on format

You won’t be sat in a large room listening for two days. There’s a major focus on audience participation, interaction and problem solving. Come prepared with questions, ideas, solutions and be ready to get involved.
