What's Happening?
Edie is hosting its second annual Sustainable Supply Chains Summit on September 17 at 1 America Square in London. The event aims to bring together professionals from sustainability, procurement, and supply chain sectors to address the challenges of transforming
global supply chains into resilient, low-carbon, and equitable systems. The summit will feature high-level case studies, expert panels, and interactive workshops designed to provide practical guidance for organizations at various stages of their sustainability journey. Key topics include tackling Scope 3 emissions, supplier engagement, and climate risk management. The event will also offer networking opportunities with industry leaders, fostering collaboration and innovation in sustainable practices.
Why It's Important?
The summit is crucial as it addresses the pressing need for sustainable supply chain practices, which are increasingly becoming a priority for business leaders. With three-quarters of leaders citing supply chain engagement as a sustainability priority, the event provides a platform to turn these priorities into actionable strategies. By focusing on practical solutions and fostering cross-industry collaboration, the summit aims to accelerate progress towards net-zero and future-fit value chains. This is particularly important as companies face growing regulatory demands and the need to mitigate climate risks across complex global value chains. The event's emphasis on actionable strategies and real-world solutions is expected to drive significant advancements in corporate sustainability efforts.
