Lloyds Banking Group – Journey to Net Zero operations

Here at Lloyds Banking Group, reducing the carbon footprint of our own operations is a key part of our sustainability strategy. We’re working towards an ambitious set of commitments to change the way we operate as a business and help accelerate our plans to tackle climate change. We would like to share our journey, what we have learnt so far and the challenges ahead. 

Transitional technology, intelligent optimisation and future electricity supply products

By combining transitional technologies and electricity supply as part of a holistic energy strategy, businesses can contribute to and benefit from a net zero system.  

In this session, experts from Bryt Energy and Wattstor will discuss real-life examples of how technologies and electricity supply contracts have been used together. In doing so, customers were able to save on their electricity bills whilst reducing their carbon footprint and supporting the grid. 

Is the market ready for a 24/7 Carbon Free Energy (CFE) Offer – or is this just the preserve of big companies?

There is no argument that we all need to do our bit in helping to accelerate the transition to net zero - and all energy procurement and management strategies will play a big part in that. As larger companies set themselves ever more stringent annual renewable energy procurement targets, how realistic a goal can this be for other UK businesses? And isn’t this a problem the generators will solve anyway, by providing more renewable energy for the grid? 

Hilton Foods – Decarbonising Agricultural Value Chains

I will be speaking about how Hilton is working with academia and across the industry to deliver a science based pathway to decarbonise the livestock sector.

Transition to Net Zero, our Carbon Reduction Journey

Energy consumption around the world poses varying challenges for societies and governments especially when 40 percent of this energy consumption is related to building energy consumption. At Mott MacDonald we intend to tackle this challenge head on by using innovative and groundbreaking approaches to assist in reducing the energy consumption within buildings. On this NetZero journey, we at Mott MacDonald have made some significant strides and have mapped a strategy which will be discussed in more detail during this session. If you're curious about Motts journey to NetZero and the methods we're employing along the way, please let me know. 

From risk adverse to risk aware: transforming your net zero strategy into action

Today, four critical megatrends are steering the evolution of the UK’s energy market: the drive for net zero, the need for energy resilience, the necessity to upgrade power and heat transmission and distribution assets, and the arrival of new forms of energy, such as hydrogen. 

Anticipating the impact of these megatrends must underpin how you take your net zero plans from strategy to delivery. Dr Jean-Yves Cherruault will explore why they should be embedded into your delivery-led decarbonisation strategy – so that your organisation can become risk aware, not risk adverse, on the road to net zero. 

Practical Net Zero in Higher Education

UK higher education has some fantastic, beautiful buildings but this can mean issues with Listed Building Status. It can also mean dealing with newer, more inefficient buildings and the problems around managing stakeholder expectations, decanting buildings and finding resources and funding.

Net Zero – Ideas into Action

Many organisations have ideas, plans and strategies and even stated targets about Net Zero, but many are finding the delivery of these plans to reduce emissions very challenging. 

This presentation will take you through three areas for practical action to progress your Net Zero strategy and plan and give you some ideas for resources and tools that can support the implementation of your plans to deliver real, effective action with measurable results. 

Why building net zero homes makes commercial sense

I will explain the Greencore approach to embodied carbon, operational carbon, energy and bio-diversity. We call this Climate Positive. I will also use Springfield Meadows as a case study and set out our plans to scale-up the delivery of 10,000 Climate Positive homes by 2035. 

The Soft Skills needed for success in the Green Sector

Commercial organisations are critical to the achievement of the Net Zero and sustainability targets that we need to hit.  With great products, services or solutions these organisations can slow down, minimise or remove emissions and create positive change. 

For commercial organisations to be successful, they need the great products along with great people with the skills and attitudes to perform consistently.  Technical and academic skills or intelligence are a part of the mix, but what about the people or “soft” skills? 

In this talk, we will share the key soft skills needed to drive change and success through the Green Sector.  Identifying what they are, how they make a difference to business success and what you can do to leverage these in your organisation. 

A Sustainable Path to a Net Zero Mobility Community

The automotive sector is undergoing a profound and increasingly rapid transformation, absorbing inputs from a wide range of nascent technologies from Artificial Intelligence to simulation and automation. The necessity to both innovate and enable innovation to flourish is the key to the UK being a leading destination for Net Zero Mobility research, development, and manufacturing.

In recent years, an internationally significant cluster of automotive disruptors have taken up residence in the Midlands alongside the region’s seasoned vehicle manufacturers. Developing alternative propulsion systems, electrified skateboard chassis that can adapt to multiple vehicle form factors and micro-manufacturing techniques, these new and established companies are maintaining the territory’s strong automotive heritage and reputation for transport innovation.

This session will explore the many opportunities that this rise in next-generation mobility companies is providing and how everyone must come together to seize the opportunity of this immensely important moment in time for Net Zero mobility.

Coventry Building Society banking on Scope 3 to hit Net Zero target

Coventry Building Society are committed to becoming net zero by 2040, and decarbonising the supply chain by 2030 is a major milestone on that journey. Rebecca Howard will discuss how the Society identified suppliers with highest carbon emissions and engaged with key suppliers to understand their carbon targets. Using the GHG protocol, the Society has modelled the total supply base to provide a prioritised approach to carbon reduction. Rebecca will talk about how decarbonisation fits into the wider sustainable procurement journey that the Procurement & SRM team has undertaken. This includes working with suppliers to provide pre-employment skills for local school children and expanding use of local and diverse suppliers.

Decarbonising Truro High School for Girls – Bitesize

Truro High School is a secondary school for girls in Cornwall which includes several buildings ranging from late Victorian through to the 1990s.  The school is grappling with the challenge of ageing assets, capital constraints providing best in class services to its pupils whilst aiming to achieve net zero operations. The school has embarked on a journey with Zerogram to establish a long-term net-zero operational strategy for the school whilst identifying opportunities to deliver immediate cost savings to mitigate the impact of rising energy prices. The session is jointly presented by the school and Zerogram and will cover how this potentially overwhelming challenge was broken down into bitesize chunks to help the school tackle the problems in practical, actionable steps.

Education, Education, Education, why Net Zero needs Education

A Net Zero world is a radically different world, education is absolutely critical to its emergence. The Department for Education's new Sustainability and Climate Change strategy is going to be a game changer in England; implemented well, it has the potential to transform the education system. And it needs transforming. To make Net Zero possible, we need an education system that prepares all young people for the challenges and opportunities that the race to Net Zero is creating. Government can't drive this transformation alone, charities, businesses, and investors all need to step up. Join us to find out how Global Action Plan and Unilever are having a transformative impact on the education system and how you and your business can do the same.
