Our theme this year is ‘collaboration’; we have speakers, but if you or a customer has a good case story of collaboration to reduce CO2 emissions, we’d love to hear from you and have you participate.

More specifically the enactment of the CSRD/ESRS, EU EED, EPRB and REDIII directives and accompanying regulations around CountEmissionsEU, LEVELS etc means we are all facing into far reaching change in our businesses and society. As an old proverb¹ says if you want to go quickly go alone, if you want to go far go together
