What is the Net Zero Summit?

After the success of last year’s first-ever Supply Chain Sustainability School Summit, we invite you to join us at our 2023 Summit for a day of inspiring talks, business and networking opportunities, and sustainability solutions to help you drive your sustainability goals forward. 

The theme for this year's summit, which takes place on 26th September at the Coventry Building Society Arena, is Net Zero and a Just Transition. We will discuss the key challenges facing our industry on its journey to net zero carbon and explore the big solutions needed. 

You will have the chance to attend various expert panels and get your key questions answered as they explore the how and why of topics such as the talent and skills challenge, the materials challenge, and science-based targets. Lastly, you can celebrate industry achievements, network and enjoy a drink during an informal Awards Ceremony. 

Why should I attend?

By joining us, you will: 

• Build your knowledge of net zero and a just transition, and what this means for you 
• Discover the latest solutions to key sustainability challenges 
• Identify new business opportunities through networking with like-minded professionals 
• Improve your understanding of your clients' future needs
