Energy demand and the net zero transition

Join us for an insightful session on Energy Demand and its role in the Net Zero Transition. As businesses grapple with ESG challenges, the urgency to act has never been greater. Net zero, in particular, stands at a tipping point: the cost of not acting could outweigh the benefits of operational change.

In the context of procurement, where a significant portion of emissions fall under Scope 3, our discussion will focus on the following key areas:

1. Understanding Energy Demand: We’ll explore the dynamics of energy demand, its impact on sustainability, and the need for strategic management.
2. Procurement’s Crucial Role: Learn how effective procurement practices can drive positive environmental outcomes. From supplier selection to contract negotiations, every decision matters.
3. Competitive Advantage: When managed well, energy demand becomes more than a challenge—it becomes a competitive advantage. Discover how businesses can leverage sustainability practices to stay ahead.
4. Clean Energy Superpower: Following the Labour government’s recent energy announcements, we’ll take a look at the key areas of policy that are most likely to have an impact on procurement in the drive towards a low carbon future for the UK 

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and contribute to the net zero movement.
