This year's themes

View agenda

Scope 3 and supply chain decarbonization

How leading businesses are integrating emissions reduction into wider business strategy. Not because it is good for the planet. But because it is good for business, for supply security and for the bottom line.

We’ll look in depth into the practical steps to tackle Scope 3 emissions. Moving from commitments and ambition to the concrete actions business can take in the short, medium and long-term.

Climate risk and adaptation

What is the underlying data actually telling us about supply risk? And what does climate disruption look like for global supply chains right now? Not in 2050, but today?

We’ll assess how to put a credible price on climate risk. And we’ll look at how leading brands are adapting sourcing strategies to maintain security of supply, build resilience, and stay competitive.

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.

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
