Chapter Zero's London Climate Action Week Flagship Event: Improving governance and empowering boards to tackle the climate and energy transition agenda

The narrative may have changed, but the facts haven’t. It’s time to stop talking about shifting sands and start talking about what makes financial sense. Climate and nature are no longer just environmental concerns, but key drivers of risk, innovation and growth. Join Chapter Zero, the Directors’ Climate Forum, for an iconic meeting of minds in the heart of London to discuss how to build resilience, decarbonise and grow.

To celebrate London Climate Action Week, in partnership with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), we will bring together Chairs, non-executive directors and key stakeholders for an intimate drinks reception to share the critical role of Chapter Zero in equipping and inspiring the mindsets needed for the boardrooms of the future.

Following a Market Close hosted by Chapter Zero Supporting Chair and LSEG Chair, Don Robert CBE, and Chapter Zero Chair, Julie Baddeley, guests will enjoy a keynote from Martin Scicluna, Chair of Sainsbury’s, and have the opportunity to connect with peers in an informal networking setting on London Stock Exchange’s stunning rooftop terrace overlooking St. Paul’s cathedral.

Please note this event is invitation-only, and places are limited to one representative per organisation due to capacity. Please contact us at events@chapterzero.org.uk to request an invitation to attend.
