Panel A
Sustainable Supply Chains and ESG Reporting
As global supply chains become increasingly complex, companies are facing growing pressure to take responsibility for their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts beyond their direct operations. This panel explores the role of businesses in ensuring sustainable supply chains, emphasizing the importance of implementing effective measures to reduce environmental harm, uphold human rights, and promote ethical business practices. A key challenge in this process is ensuring data transparency, which is essential for identifying risks, monitoring progress, and fostering trust among stakeholders.
While companies encounter significant challenges—such as regulatory compliance, data availability, and supplier engagement—there are also substantial opportunities, including enhanced brand reputation, increased investor confidence, and long-term cost savings. Transparent ESG reporting plays a crucial role in this transformation, as it enables accountability, comparability, and informed decision-making for businesses and stakeholders alike.
Industry leaders will provide insights into best practices, regulatory developments, and future trends, highlighting how collaboration and transparency can drive meaningful progress toward more sustainable supply chains.
Moderator: Dr. Bahar Cat-Krause
TÜV Rheinland, Global Head of Sustainability @People & Business Assurance
Panellists: To be confirmed shortly
Parallel Panel Sessions [11:30 - 12:30]
Panel B
Application of the Hydrogen Generation for the UK transport sector
This panel discussion will explore the generation of hydrogen and its application with a special focus on the UK transport sector. While hydrogen promises significant sustainability benefits, its production from renewable sources remains limited. Experts will discuss how the transport sector is addressing these limitations, highlighting the associated challenges, risks, and opportunities. Through real-world use cases including pioneering hydrogen transport deployments in the UK, the session will provide insights into industry-specific approaches to hydrogen integration. Join us to understand the current landscape of hydrogen energy, its potential impact on decarbonizing British transport networks, and the innovative strategies being employed to overcome existing hurdles in implementing hydrogen-powered transport solutions.
Moderator: Gaynor Woodford
TÜV Rheinland UK Industrial Services Sustainability Lead
Panellist: Neil Golding
Director of Market Intelligence, EIC (Energy Industries Council)
Panel C
Advancements in Circularity
This panel will examine how industries are adopting circular economy strategies to reduce waste and optimize resource use. Driven by growing regulatory pressure, such as the EU Circular Economy Action Plan, and the rise of Extended Producer Responsibility, businesses are rethinking production and consumption models. Panellists will explore how recycling, reuse, and sharing approaches are reshaping value chains, supported by innovations like digital tracking and smart materials. Through real-world case studies, the session will highlight key enablers of circularity, practical implementation strategies, and insights into emerging regulations. Join us to discover how circular thinking can enhance competitiveness, support sustainability goals, and prepare organizations for a low-waste future.
