Digital Climate Leaders Forum

Tackling the plastic crisis

While the plastic crisis has received a lot of attention in the last year, measures to reduce plastic pollution in the environment and to increase its circularity have remained fragmented. In the first Digital Climate Leaders Forum we will discuss with sustainability leaders what role businesses can take in the plastic challenge and how the concept of Plastic Neutrality – along the lines of Climate Neutrality – can be a promising concept to tackle the crisis. 

Join us for this exclusive Digital Climate Leaders Forum on Plastics on April 30th that will showcase the many opportunities for corporates to take meaningful action to create a sustainable future. 

Our confirmed speakers from Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, The Dow Chemical Company and Amcor will share their experiences as well as challenges on their plastic stewardship journey. After the corporate inputs, these challenges will be discussed in small groups in digital breakout sessions to ensure personal exchange also during times of home office and quarantine.
