WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT

About the event

In 2017, experts identified six key milestones – across energy, transport, land use, industry, infrastructure, and finance – that mankind must hit by 2020 in order to get a grip on global warming once and for all. They called this the ‘climate turning point’.

While positive progress has been made towards many of these milestones, the reality is that action across the board remains broadly insufficient to reverse climate change and tackle key critical environmental and social sustainability issues. But all hope is not lost. In fact, there remains a huge, transformational opportunity for businesses to achieve a sustainable and profitable future, through a radical increase in ambition and relentless optimism.

edie’s 2020 Sustainability Leaders Forum is all about chasing the positive and reaching the climate turning point. Our flagship, multi-award-winning event unites business leaders and sustainability decision-makers from the world’s largest companies, along with climate experts, policymakers, NGOs and investors to ignite a decade of business transformation. Offering two-days full of inspirational talks, high-level panel discussions, interactive experiences, collaborative workshops and unique networking opportunities – this is THE event that will inspire professionals of all levels to chase the positive and drive much-needed change.

Be a part of the collective. Join us at the Sustainability Leaders Forum in 2020.

Day 1 Strategy and Action

SESSION 1: 10.00 Emergency Response: re-writing our business climate action planThe global climate emergency has finally become a mainstream issue, and sustainability – both environmental and social – has never been more prevalent on the corporate agenda. As the pressures of the climate crisis continue to mount and global megatrends continue to take their toll on business and the supply chain, it’s critical that a co-ordinated, collective response takes shape.

This session sets the scene for the Sustainability Leaders Forum 2020 by outlining the opportunities for businesses to pull together to reverse climate change and promote sustainable development.

Gain insight into:• How businesses are leading the charge towards 1.5ºC• How global megatrends are redefining business purpose• How the geo-political and regulatory context is changing – and what this means for you

And how can organisations begin to move beyond net-zero to achieve the ‘holy-grail’ of decoupling growth from emissions and advancing a regenerative economy?

SESSION 4: 15:15 Case study – Tesco & WWF: reducing the environmental impact of the average shopping basket by 50%With almost 80% of consumers demanding that supermarkets do more to offer sustainably sourced food, it’s clear that the demand for action has never been greater. In response, Tesco and WWF are developing a metric that allows the retailer to monitor performance and builds a clear picture of the full range of environmental issues associated with the average shopping basket. This session will explore how the methodology can be used to collect data in its entirety on products and to measure progress towards achieving ambitious sustainability goals.

wORkShOP 4: Collaborating for success: how to build partnerships that work The power of partnerships is continually discussed at events like this, but actually making those partnerships happen and effectively collaborating with others – even rivals – on sustainability is often a lot easier said than done. The challenges can be put down to a lack of transparency, competition, poor governance or a general lack of engagement which can hold organisations back. This workshop will equip you with the knowledge and skills to build collaborative, symbiotic partnerships that can take your sustainability strategy to the next level.

11.30 Sustainable cultures: engaging, inspiring and empowering your colleaguesCreating a company culture that is truly motivated and geared towards environmental and social sustainability is much easier said than done – especially for those organisations with thousands of employees across multiple sites.

wORkShOP 2: Consumer engagement: turning negatives into positives and influencing choices While consumer demand for more sustainable business continues to grow, the ‘ethical consumer’ remains the exception rather than the rule, and it can be extremely difficult for companies to track and influence the motivations of individuals. This session brings together businesses that are harnessing the momentum of the growing climate action and anti-single-use plastics movements to influence and educate consumers to make more sustainable and ethical choices.

Workshop 2 themes include:• What a good consumer engagement campaign looks like • The future of engagement in the digital era • Finding the positives in the negative; easy ways to make big differences• How do we get communities to inspire action?• The new rules – are your brand communications ready for the age of transparency?

wORkShOP 1: Unlocking innovation: how to transform business processes on the path to sustainability leadershipCrafting solutions and solving tomorrow’s problems often requires people to be brave and challenge the status quo. But all too often, businesses are bound by their current processes which stifle innovation. This workshop-style session provides you with character skills and techniques to transform your business from a slow-moving, habitual business into a fast-moving, dynamic, innovative leader on sustainability.

Workshop 1 themes include:• Motivating yourself and colleagues to think imaginatively or as though you were not bound by limitations• GettingfromAtoZ:slickeningtheprocessofinnovationinternally• Harnessing new ways of thinking and collaborating to unlock innovative solutions

In this candid conversation – held under Chatham House Rule – we round off the Sustainability Leaders Forum 2020 by convening a panel of current and future business leaders to share their personal insights and inspirational visions for the sustainability profession.

Gain insight into:• How can automation and digitalisation positively impact the workforce and bring us closer to our sustainability

goals?• How are social changes, such as greater work flexibility and increased mobility, affecting business and

sustainability leadership?• What does 2020-2030 hold for the sustainability professional; will we still exist?

16:30 Close of conference

wORkShOP 4: The Plastic Solutions Session: how to be a change maker in tackling plastics Plastic is one of the most hotly debated sustainability topic of the decade. Whilst many companies are launching pledges, pacts and policies, the real pace of plastic reduction is slow. How can we accelerate this change to leave better businesses and a safer, cleaner planet?

This interactive workshop will help everyone rethink how they can drive change in their organisation and bring others on the journey with them. The flow of the workshop will begin with a snapshot of insights from Sian Sutherland and the panellists before introducing a proven change approach. Participants then work in teams to tackle a real challenge and share their solutions and ideas with the whole group including the panel.

Questions that we will address include:• How can you tackle plastic within your own business? • How can you persuade all stakeholders to embrace essential change? • What is the legacy you will leave behind?

wORkShOP 3: The art of great communication: how to engage stakeholders, build partnerships and deliver tangible results Corporate sustainability progress is often stifled by internal challenges that arise due to incorrect judgement, fear, anger, false narrative, or a general lack of time. The keys to building internal commitment and creating a shared sense of responsibility around sustainability issues are good interaction and communication that opens the mind. In this interactive workshop, learn which key interpersonal skills have proven vital to catalysing sustainability journeys and gain practical advice on how you can utilise these skills to drive change in your own organisation.

Workshop 3 themes include:• Practical advice on how to lead meaningful conversations with colleagues• What good and bad conversations look like • Active Listening • Top tips on how to get board room buy-in
