Sustainability LIVE: The Net Zero Summit, 4–5 March 2026, London
Sustainability LIVE: The Net Zero Summit returns to London on 4–5 March 2026, taking over the QEII Centre in Westminster for two tightly packed days focused on what actually moves the needle on net zero. Part of BizClik’s global sustainability portfolio, the summit is positioned less as a vision-setting conference and more as a working forum for organisations under real pressure to decarbonise, report accurately, and translate climate ambition into operational change. The conversations here are grounded in delivery — strategy meets implementation, policy meets engineering, and ESG rhetoric is tested against balance sheets and supply chains.
Running alongside Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE: The Net Zero Summit, the event deliberately blurs the line between sustainability leadership and procurement decision-making. That overlap matters more than ever, because emissions reductions increasingly live in Scope 3, supplier relationships, and procurement-led transformation rather than in isolated sustainability teams. The dual-event format reinforces a simple truth: net zero is no longer a siloed function, it’s a systems problem that spans sourcing, logistics, energy use, data, and governance — sometimes messily, sometimes uncomfortably.
The 2026 edition brings scale and structure to that complexity. More than fifty speakers are expected across sustainability, energy, procurement, supply chain, climate technology and ESG, supported by ten themed content tracks that tackle decarbonisation from multiple angles rather than repeating the same headline commitments. Executive workshops are designed for senior leaders shaping net-zero strategy inside large, regulated organisations, while an audience of over a thousand in-person attendees — from enterprises, governments, NGOs and consultancies — ensures the room reflects the real ecosystem driving climate action today, not just its most polished corner.
What gives the summit its weight is the calibre of voices shaping the agenda. Senior leaders from organisations operating at global scale, including sustainability and technology chiefs from the European Space Agency, NVIDIA, Schneider Electric, the Met Office, Virgin Media O2 and Odfjell, are set to share how they are responding to regulatory pressure, integrating climate targets into core operations, and scaling decarbonisation without breaking delivery or resilience. These are not theoretical case studies; they are accounts from organisations navigating complex supply chains, energy systems and digital infrastructure in real time, sometimes learning the hard way.
For attendees, the value lies in clarity. Strategic insight into meeting net-zero targets is paired with a realistic look at ESG risk across operations and value chains, alongside access to peers and climate-tech innovators who are building the tools meant to close the gap between ambition and execution. Best-practice case studies are positioned less as success stories and more as working models — what held up, what didn’t, and what changed once regulations, costs or internal resistance entered the picture. You can feel the emphasis on practicality, on leaving with something you can actually take back into the organisation on Monday morning.
At a broader level, the summit acts as a platform for Chief Sustainability Officers and senior leaders to compare notes on where progress is happening — and where it’s stalling. Sessions and workshops are curated to surface shared challenges across sectors, whether that’s emissions data quality, supplier engagement, AI-driven optimisation, or the tension between speed and compliance. Technology partners also play a visible role, demonstrating solutions aimed at reducing emissions across transport, energy systems and supply chains, not as shiny demos but as deployable infrastructure.
As net-zero deadlines edge closer and regulatory scrutiny tightens, the need for credible, defensible decarbonisation pathways has become urgent rather than aspirational. Sustainability LIVE: The Net Zero Summit 2026 positions itself squarely in that moment, delivering applied insight, expert analysis and real-world examples designed to accelerate progress throughout the year ahead. It sits within BizClik’s wider Sustainability LIVE global programme — spanning London, New York, Chicago and beyond — but the London edition, set against the policy-heavy backdrop of Westminster, feels particularly attuned to the convergence of regulation, enterprise pressure and climate reality.
