Innovation Session with Innovate UK

Climate action has always faced a fundamental challenge: the gap between the urgency of the crisis and the slow pace of measurement and decision-making. For enterprises, it can take months to produce a reliable measurement and often companies risk making decisions based on outdated data. Many have recognized the potential for artificial intelligence to close that efficiency gap, but are held back by the challenge of moving from concept to practical execution. And with the energy expended through AI and the risks, an informed approach is essential.

This workshop takes you from wondering &quot;what could AI do for our sustainability efforts?&quot; to walking away with a concrete plan you can implement immediately.

You&#39;ll work through three critical building blocks that separate successful AI sustainability initiatives from the rest:

Streamline your process&nbsp;- Learn practical approaches to ease the burden of measurement and reporting, giving you more time back for strategy and decarbonisation.

Move from speed to impact&nbsp;- Explore reliable approaches for using AI to reveal patterns in your sustainability data that human analysis may miss, enabling smarter resource allocation and more strategic decision-making.

Set your guardrails&nbsp;- Develop a clear AI governance framework that accounts for the energy implications of AI systems and ensures you focus only on the most impactful uses for the energy expended.

By the end of this session, you&#39;ll have the foundation of your sustainability AI roadmap - not just ideas, but actionable next steps you can take back to your organization. No hype, no theoretical futures. Just practical tools and a clear path forward.

Your CFO asks for the carbon footprint, not the recycling rate. In 2025, 74.8% of businesses rank reducing carbon emissions as their top sustainability goal, yet 47% still lack the clear data needed to act. This workshop shows how to translate circular economy values into quantifiable CO₂ emissions for strategic decision-making. Through an interactive format&mdash;including a live survey and group discussions&mdash;we will demonstrate how Carbmee EIS&trade; transforms complex circularity data into measurable, actionable insights. With Carbmee&rsquo;s proven results&mdash;94% faster Product Carbon Footprint creation, up to 80% emissions reduction potential identified, and analyst-verified ROI of 356%&mdash;you&rsquo;ll see how data-driven circularity is not just good for the planet, but for your P&amp;L.

Crossing The Chasm: How do we achieve mass-market adoption of sustainable solutions?

Angus McCarey

In today&rsquo;s rapidly changing world, where climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges, businesses have a unique opportunity to lead the charge towards a more sustainable future. The supply chain, a critical driver of economic activity, is also one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, research shows that up to 80% of a companies emissions can stem from its value chain&mdash;far beyond its own operations.

To make meaningful impact on climate change, it is essential that businesses take bold steps to decarbonise their supply chain. At DP World UK, we operate two of the largest deep-sea ports, London Gateway and Southampton where we have already invested &pound;2bn in infrastructure to enhance trade flows and support our transition to lower carbon. More recent sustainability initiatives include the construction of a fully electrified berth 4 and the launch of a Modal Shift Programme Trial to financially incentivise a transition from road activity to rail.

At DP World UK, we are also committed to working alongside our customers to reduce emissions, optimise operations and drive innovation. Adopting this approach ensures businesses are not only positioning themselves as industry leaders but are also driving innovation, improving operational efficiency and opening new markets by aligning with consumer demand for environmentally responsible products and services.

The time is to act now. The question becomes how quickly can you adapt?
