Sustainability LIVE @ LCAW: CSO & Leadership Expansions

London Climate Action Week (LCAW) was founded in 2019. Since then, it has brought together and showcased climate resilience, sustainable finance, net zero goals and the energy transition.

LCAW’s themes include shaping global climate action, delivering a net zero UK, climate collaboration in London and engaging the whole of society for decarbonisation and resilience. 

Sustainability LIVE: The Leadership Summit, happening on 25 June, has announced a huge expansion to its speaker line-up ahead of LCAW 2026.

Sustainability leaders take the stage

Sustainability LIVE: The Leadership Summit has announced a significant expansion to its speaker line-up.

The expansion includes adding 13 Chief Sustainability Officers and sustainability leaders from organisations such as Philip Morris International, PepsiCo, ADM, VINCI Group and RELX to an already established speaker line-up.

Sustainability LIVE’s announcement further highlights the summit’s position as a key gathering for senior executives who continue to drive corporate sustainability.

The Leadership Summit attendees have the opportunity to gain practical insights into decarbonisation, sustainable supply chain management and climate action from organisations at the forefront of environmental leadership.

The newly confirmed speakers bring expertise across diverse sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, food and beverage and professional services.

New announced speakers include:

• Isabelle Spiegel, Vice-President of Environment at VINCI Group
• Dr Adam Read, Member of the Order of the British Empire and Chief Sustainability Officer at SUEZ Recycling & Recovery
• Garrett Quinn, Group Head of Sustainability at Smurfit Westrock

Sustainable supply chains

At the event, multiple speakers are set to address critical issues encountered when building and evolving sustainable supply chains.

Scope 3 emissions, those generated throughout the value chain, tend to account for the majority of a company's carbon footprint but remain the most challenging to address.

"How we think about sustainable supply chains continues to evolve, with greater emphasis on action, accountability and measurable progress,” says Katherine Pickus, Chief Sustainability Officer at ADM.

“We're seeing how increased transparency, smarter use of data and stronger collaboration are helping companies build resilience while accelerating decarbonisation across the value chain. 

“In this session, I'm looking forward to exploring how leaders can harness this momentum to drive meaningful impact and scale solutions faster."

Climate events, resource scarcity and regulatory changes are forcing leaders to adopt more sustainable approaches as a fundamental component of risk management.

"The biggest challenge in sustainable supply chains today isn't ambition – it's execution,” says Øistein Jensen, Chief Sustainability Officer at Odfjell SE.

“We can't wait for perfect solutions; we need to act now with the technology, data and partnerships available to us and improve as we go.

“Turning frameworks and targets into real transparency and meaningful supplier engagement across a global value chain is where the hard work begins and that's exactly what I'm looking forward to exploring with this panel." 

At the event, some sessions will also include topics such as the energy transition, the future of AI and global decarbonisation strategies.

Beyond supply chains and decarbonisation, the summit features sessions on critical industry topics:

• Women in Sustainability: exploring gender diversity and leadership in the sector
• The Global Climate Debate: examining international policy and corporate response to climate change
• Water Positivity: addressing water stewardship and resilience strategies

Garrett Quinn, Group Head of Sustainability at Smurfit Westrock, states: "I’m looking forward to sharing our experience across the globe on the challenges and opportunities in our decarbonisation strategy."

These sessions provide attendees with actionable insights across the full spectrum of environmental, social and governance priorities.
