Sustainability LIVE Net Zero 2025

The Economist event comes almost immediately after the 2nd Sustainability LIVE Net Zero, which is focusing on The Route to a Carbon Neutral World.

Sustainability LIVE Net Zero, which is at the QEII Centre, London, on March 5-6 2025, will feature more than 2,000 in-person and virtual attendees, scores of C-suite speakers alongside interactive panel discussions and executive masterclasses.

The event is the ultimate platform for executives dedicated to driving sustainability and achieving net zero targets within their organisations. Attendees will gain insights from industry leaders, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and explore innovative strategies to enhance their sustainability initiatives.

Headline speakers include:

Darshana Myronidis, Group Sustainability Director, Virgin
Gerard Gallagher, EMEIA Sustainability Leader, EY
Tom Byrne, Head of Net Zero & Environment, British Airways
Tom Salisbury, Sustainability Director, GKN Automotive.

Sustainability, Procurement and Supply Chain LIVE

This year, a single ticket gets full access to two industry-leading events, as Sustainability LIVE: Net Zero is co-located with Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE: Sustainability.

The parallel event, which will explore supply chain sustainability and Scope 3 emissions, is a natural fit with Sustainability LIVE Net Zero, as top executives in both realms are increasingly finding their challenges crossing over.

Steven Downes, BizClik Group Content Director and Sustainability Magazine Editor-in-Chief, says: "Sustainability LIVE Net Zero is a must-attend event for senior sustainability officers and anyone working in this sphere. The calibre of speakers and panellists guarantees an agenda, networking and discussions that will challenge and motivate attendees.

"The co-location of Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE: Sustainability makes perfect sense. Sustainability cuts across every area of a business, but none more so than procurement and supply chain."
