Sport positive summit 2020

October 1, 2020 - October 2, 2020
Organiser:
Sport Positive Summit

Sport positive summit convenes sports leaders from accross the globe to support the advance towards sustainability.

We've all been through the ringer this year, with so much disruption to our global sport calendar, and while things still aren't back to normal, it's been so heartening to see sport begin again, even behind closed doors.
While we still think about those who have been directly impacted by COVID-19 every day, our community must still come together, to continue to drive our work forward in combatting climate change.
So the Sport Positive Summit is coming to you virtually! We've had to change things up from our programme in March; with a global audience we can't have the full 2-day live agenda that we had planned. We're condensing our live content into 3 hours each day, but there will be additional content, the opportunity to network and partake in 1-2-1 meetings across the entire 48 hours of the Summit, no matter what timezone you are on.
More info on all aspects of the Sport Positive Summit are coming your way in short order, so keep an eye on the website and your email for those.

Unlocking value and carbon reductions through technology and partnerships

September 17, 2020
Organiser:
The Sustainability Report

The industrial sector holds one of the keys to a low carbon future. As a sector, it is responsible for a significant proportion of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions – and therein lies the opportunity. By harnessing sustainable technology in manufacturing and tapping into nature-based solutions, forward-thinking organisations can drastically reduce their environmental impacts and unlock a portion of the $23tn opportunity that comes from addressing climate change.

Join Svetlana Oglobina (Dow Olympic & Sports Solutions), P.J. Marshall (Restore the Earth Foundation), Simon Phillips (NatureBank) and Faye Miller (Dow Industrial Solutions) to learn about how these organisations are working together to find solutions and increase their positive impact.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • What technologies the industrial sector is leveraging to reduce its carbon footprint
  • Why organisations are investing in nature – and what the business case is
  • How sports marketing partnerships can accelerate sustainable innovation across a number of sectors
