Details

This climate conference will focus entirely on the practical action business can take to tackle Scope 3 emissions. We’ll highlight leading company practices and assess how business transformation, supply chain innovation and low-carbon solutions can deliver results on the ground.

Over two days, our climate conference will bring together a global audience of cross-industry experts to ensure a platform for genuine debate, discussion and progress. The focus throughout will remain on the practical steps business can take to engage key actors, decarbonise supply chains and achieve net zero.

Agenda highlights:
• Navigating climate policy and regulatory risks: How to integrate scope 3 into business strategy
• Driving success in Scope 3 emissions reduction: Strategy, opportunity and commercial advantage
• Performance metrics in procurement: How can sourcing practices adapt to drive supply chain engagement and climate innovation?
• Map, measure, manage: What tools and technologies can enable business to set baselines, measure performance and maintain accountability?
• How to establish a supplier carbon reduction plan: Years 1, 2, 3 and beyond
• Regenerative agriculture: Beyond pilots, what is working at scale and what are the numbers on impact?
• EUDR: The impacts on your business, your sourcing practices and your supply chain partners
• Product carbon footprinting: Can we align frameworks, measurements and metrics? Or are we stuck comparing apples with oranges?
• Embedding sustainable procurement: What this means for driving down emissions
• Towards ‘just transition’: How to effectively incorporate adaptation into your climate strategy
• Mandatory climate reporting: Aligning business and investors to harness regulatory opportunities

Why attend:
• Discover best practices from industry leaders and get in-depth guidance on how to effectively implement policies
• Meet & network with an influential audience of key stakeholders, including NGOs, business, government and supply chain actors
• Benchmark company performance amongst a room of your peers and discover where you should be focusing efforts

The Scope 3 Innovation Forum:
Key themes and emerging issues that we’ll cover over two days of behind-closed-doors discussion. No PowerPoint, no corporate presentations. Just in-depth, engaging debate and discussion on the critical business issues.

From climate targets to climate action:
• How leading businesses are performing against their climate targets, and the practical steps to transition from targets to action in the short, medium and long term

Natural Climate Solutions:
• How the latest frameworks and guidance will impact business strategy, sourcing practices and action on climate

Supplier engagement:
• Best practice and leading company approaches to engage, incentivise and enable suppliers on emissions reductions

Data, technology and innovation:
• The latest tools and technologies that can drive low carbon sourcing and the business model evolution that is driving net zero

What’s different about this forum?

Innovation Forum is:
Candid:
• Entirely off-the-record discussion that enables open and honest disclosure from speakers and genuine participation from the audience.
Practical:
• A clear focus on the practical and actionable guidance that can drive change throughout industries and supply chains.
Focused:
• We provide enough time, resources and expertise to the issues that really matter. We don’t skate the surface, but get to the crux of the issues to provide in-depth, constructive discussion.

Innovation Forum is NOT:
A PR platform:
• Enthusiastic speakers are NOT given free rein to fill a session presenting their companies, allowing no time to actually get to the crux of the issues.
A talking shop:
• This is NOT an opportunity for a group people in a room to simply agree with everything said, regardless of outcomes.
All promise, no delivery:
• We will NOT promise what we can’t deliver. The issues covered are complex. They won’t be solved at a two-day conference. But we will help deliver progress through in-depth, constructive and practical advice around specific issues.
