Fresh wave of speakers confirmed for flagship Sustainability Leaders Forum

A host of expert speakers will take to the stage during the Sustainability Leaders Forum

In light of the ongoing concerns regarding the coronavirus pandemic, edie’s award-winning Sustainability Leaders Forum and Awards was moved from early February to March, to ensure collaboration and celebration can take place in person.

The Sustainability Leaders Forum will now take place on 7-9 March, to allow for in-person discussions and co-creative workshops. The Sustainability Leaders Awards has also been moved to 30 March. These two flagship events will form the basis of a month of leadership-themed content on edie.

As such, the early bird deadline has also been moved. Sustainability professionals wishing to book their place at the award-winning Sustainability Leaders Forum can view booking options for the early bird rates, which close this Friday (4 February). Click here for more information.

With the move of date, edie has been able to confirm new speakers to an already stellar line-up of sustainability experts. During the two-day event delegates will be able to hear from David Saddington, head of the COP26 Nature Campaign at BEIS, Dr Sally Uren OBE, the chief executive at Forum for the Future, Volans founder John Elkington, We Mean Business Coalition’s chief executive Maria Mendulice, and many more. 

Speakers range from business leaders to sustainability professionals steering new and ambitious climate strategies, alongside a host of experts from NGOs and academical facilities across the sustainability spectrum.

Under the ambition of Time to Transform, the multi-award-winning Sustainability Leaders Forum will take place at the Business Design Centre in London’s Islington on 7-9 March.

The event will offer up the most diverse and inspirational speaker programme to date, with an enhanced focus on championing disruptive, purpose-led business models, nature-based solutions, and youth empowerment.
