Why ESG Executives must Attend Sustainability LIVE Net Zero

These days, Sustainability LIVE is more than just a conference. Since its founding, the audience has been almost overwhelming as many business professionals seek answers to their companies’ questions. 

As net zero is perhaps the primary challenge of our time, this conference doubles down on decarbonisation, the strategies put in place, and the mechanisms to analyse, report and act on emissions through data and analytics. 

Distinguished speakers share the nuances of net zero 

While we have a whole host of speakers at Sustainability LIVE Net Zero, attending from across the globe and a diverse pool of businesses, there are some key personalities joining the show from the world’s leading companies.
