Sustainability LIVE Net Zero is a must-attend event for supply chain professionals.

Sustainability LIVE Net Zero event being held in London from March 6-7 offers insight, advice and discussions around supply chain sustainability

Supply chain executives are a key target audience of the upcoming Sustainability LIVE Net Zero event, being staged in the heart of Westminster, in the City of London.

The two-day learning and networking experience will see sustainability leaders share insight, knowledge and advice around the global drive to net zero carbon emissions, with greener supply chains being a central theme.

A series of keynotes, interviews and panel discussions will illuminate the event, which is being held at the QEII Centre in London, from March 6-7.

Supply chain is the biggest single battle ground in the drive to reverse the effects of global warming, with as much as 80% of organisations' emissions being in their supply chain.

So-called Scope 3 emissions hold the key to making serious headway on reaching global net-zero targets by 2050, because they come from vendors – sometimes numbering in their tens of thousands – up and down a company’s value chain.

Addressing this issue directly will be the Scope 3 Forum. This takes place on March 6 at 2:55 pm London time, on the main stage.

Scope 3 expert panelists

The expert panel will explore innovative approaches and key insights for managing and reducing environmental impacts throughout the supply chain.

The speakers are:

Mark Jones, Chief Sustainability Officer at THG, a leading British e-commerce retail company.
Javier López Gómez, Global Head of Corporate Sustainability, SGS, a Swiss-owned multinational engineering company.
Patrick Linighan, Chief Sustainability Officer, Clyde & Co, a major law firm.

Also on Day 1 – taking place from 11.30am-12.30pm – will be a session called Decarbonising Your Supply Chain at Scale.

This interactive session will be led by executives from climate software firm, Watershed. They will discuss effective strategies for assessing and reducing Scope 3 emissions.

Speakers Naina Khandelwal and Christina Kopka will offer insights on decarbonising supply chains, and how to involve suppliers in sustainability efforts. Topics include aligning stakeholders, setting engagement goals, best practices with vendors, and scaling efforts through software deployment.

Sustainability LIVE Net Zero will connect the world’s net zero leaders, both in-person and as virtual delegates. The two day hybrid conference and expo will see more than 2,000 delegates learn from 60 internationally acclaimed speakers at a series of interactive sessions. The event covers two headline stages, with eight panel discussions and two executive workshops.
