Unveiling the initial elements of the Forum programme, edie’s content director Luke Nicholls said: “The timing of this event is absolutely business-critical: the crucial COP26 talks will be setting out our global ambition to solve the climate crisis, the UK has just confirmed it’s highly-anticipated Net-Zero Strategy, and businesses are now striving to drive a green recovery across all major sectors.

“Our Sustainability Leaders Forum is all about mobilising and empowering business leaders to build a better future, and we’re truly proud of how this event’s agenda is shaping up. Over two days, we’ll be connecting CEOs and board-level directors, sustainability experts, government representatives, investors and NGOs around a common goal: to transform business, for good.”
