A class act by SUEZ and Supply Chain Sustainability School for COP29

Scheduled to take place in Azerbaijan from 11 to 22 November 2024, the 29th session of the COP to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change will bring together world leaders and other stakeholders to assess our progress in reducing global carbon emissions and explore innovative solutions to tackle this pressing issue.

SUEZ recycling and recovery UK recognises the significance of this global challenge and is committed to taking meaningful and expert action. This is why we are proud to be a partner of the Supply Chain Sustainability School, a platform dedicated to equipping organisations in the built environment industry with the knowledge and resources needed to drive sustainability initiatives forward.

In time for COP29, we are excited to share some free, hand-picked training and resources from the Supply Chain Sustainability School that are designed to upskill organisations in the built environment to improve their impact on the planet.

Here are our recommendations:

Science-based targets sustainability short

With the growing awareness of the climate emergency worldwide, an increasing number of businesses are setting science-based targets (SBTs) to reduce their carbon emissions. One of the most important things to remember is that you can’t manage what you can’t measure, and this is the focus of this short video. It will answer your questions on what SBTs are, why they are relevant to you and how you can use them to align your organisation with global climate goals. Get started here.

COP29 webinar series

Every year in time for COP, the School runs a series of one-hour webinars to help organisations build their understanding of the key challenges around tackling climate change. The COP29 webinar series starts on 4 November 2024 with an introduction to climate change and carbon, including understanding how you can measure carbon impact and how to reduce it, as well as the importance of reporting and steps towards net zero. This webinar is perfect for those just starting out in their journey towards net zero. Click to register for the webinar.

With studies showing that around 40% of global carbon emissions come from the built environment, SUEZ recognises the need for proactive measures in promoting the circular economy – coupled with great social value creation – every step of the way. What’s more, our commitment to sustainability is anchored on the triple bottom line approach of people, planet and profit, resulting in measurable progress and creating long-term change.

At SUEZ, we believe these helpful tools will help everyone play a proactive part in creating a more sustainable built environment industry. Join us and let’s contribute to positive climate action now.
