edie Sustainability Leaders Forum 2022 | Faversham House | 7 March 2022 | Business Design Centre, 52 Upper St, London N1 0QH, UK

The climate crisis is raging. Technologies are evolving. The future of work is upon us, and new paradigms of growth are emerging. The time to reinvent business models, evolve company cultures, and build a more equitable, net-zero carbon economy is now.

The multi-award-winning Forum is back, bigger and better for 2022, re-uniting business leaders, sustainability practitioners, policymakers, investors and NGOs around a common goal: to turn the ambitions of COP26 into meaningful climate action and truly transform business, for good.

You will be connected with peers through expertly facilitated networking sessions; inspired by powerful keynote talks from global industry leaders; immersed in a series of themed plenary discussions and dynamic best-practice presentations; and challenged to think differently in our interactive panel debates and co-creative workshops.

Whether you’re a sustainability changemaker, a disruptive business leader, or a bold climate innovator – premier annual event is tailor-made for you.

Who Attends?
The multi-award-winning* Forum is edie’s annual flagship event, uniting corporate leaders, sustainability experts, government representatives, investors and NGOs for three days of thought-provoking talks and interactive workshops – all with a laser-like focus on transforming business, for good.

They include CEOs, CSOs, COOs, directors, heads of and senior management across sustainability, CSR, climate change & environment, strategy & risk management, external affairs & stakeholder relations, supply chain management & procurement and innovation”
