Sustainability LIVE Net Zero welcome’s P&G’s Virginie Helias

Are you navigating the net-zero emissions strategy process for your consumer products business? Perhaps you’re a fan of the great work at the global consumer goods corporation Procter & Gamble (P&G) and are curious to know how the company approaches the sustainability challenge.

Joining the net-zero-focused instalment of the Sustainability LIVE events series, Virginie Helias, the Chief Sustainability Officer at P&G will impart her wisdom on a global audience from the QEII Centre in London, UK. With a foothold in the consumer goods industry, and a company nearing two centuries of trading, Helias brings with her insights from the business and its strategy towards environmental and social prosperity through its business and its products. 

The company was founded in 1837 by two brothers-in-law, William Procter and James Gamble, and has evolved from candle-making and soaps to become host to many of the world’s leading brand names: Pantene, Pampers, Ariel, Gillette, Oral-B…the list goes on. 

While the business itself needs little introduction, and we previously highlighted the expertise of Helias herself, what can we expect from her session at the hybrid sustainability conference? 

P&G aligns with the sustainability challenge

Through the company’s Ambition 2030 it supports areas of climate, waste, water, and natural development—all in aid of protecting the planet and its people, and generally just improving life on earth through its supply chain and operations. 

As a consumer products business, the company is naturally associated with the climate crisis for a number of reasons, namely the extent of its supply chain activities and the wasteful nature of consumer goods. In terms of net-zero emissions, though, P&G put its strategy out there in September 2021 when it declared its target to cut all emissions by 2040, which requires the business to address materials from raw to retailer. To achieve this, the business adopts the teachings of the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to fully visualise the extent of its carbon emissions, produce measurable results, and charge forward with new initiatives.

The show will take place from the 6th to the 7th March 2024 and follow a similar operation to previous Sustainability LIVE events only with another fantastic agenda and a new venue, and four core themes within the bracket of Net Zero. Hosted at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London, BizClik makes room for more attendees to get through the stage doors. 

Tickets are available on the Sustainability LIVE Net Zero website with the opportunity to watch virtually from wherever you are in the world.
