ICC United Kingdom Sustainability Conference

This conference brings together prominent global thought leaders from business, government and industry institutions to share global best practice and discuss how business can meet the challenge of delivering sustainable supply chains and incorporating sustainability into their operations.

Climate change is no longer a concept. It is a reality that is apparent across the world. Global news is filled with reports of record temperatures, flooding and extreme weather events. Since June 2023, record high world temperatures have been recorded for nine months in a row. Our window of opportunity to take effective action is shrinking as we witness changes the world has never seen before.

Many companies have started to address their direct emissions, but not enough has been done to reduce indirect emissions, including the emissions arising from suppliers and consumers. With global supply chains accounting for as much as 80% of the world's total carbon emissions, it is vital for business to step up the pace in reducing indirect emissions.

Now, more than ever, businesses need to collaborate and help their supply chain partners to implement net-zero strategies and consider sustainability of their operations and core business practices. It is only through co-operation that business can help to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

This conference brings together prominent global thought leaders from business, government and industry institutions to share global best practice and discuss how business can meet the challenge of delivering sustainable supply chains and incorporating sustainability into their operations.

Discussions will shape ICC United Kingdom's policy agenda and the business input into key policy forums at the UN, WTO and G20.
