What did our 2025 attendees say...
"It was fantastic to be a part of SLL2025 London. Logistics play such an important part of a more circular and sustainable economy that we need events like this to bring different parts of the logistics supply chain together. Looking forward to continuing the conversations that have started on the back of this year's event and excited to see what we can achieve." Jamie Shaw, Sustainability Director, Karndean Design Flooring
"Sustainable Logistics Live was an incredible event to be part of. Every speaker and panelist brought exceptional insight and expertise, creating an environment fueled by knowledge, purpose, and collaboration. What stood out to me most was that the conversation wasn’t just about the need to change the industry, it was about the deep desire and collective will to make that change happen. SLL is exactly the kind of event, community, and platform that can drive meaningful transformation. It felt less like a conference and more like a movement, people working together, not in competition, to build the solutions our industry needs." Karl Montgomery, Recruitment Consultant Recruit Mint

Agenda
🕑: 09:00 AM - 10:00 AM
REGISTRATION & NETWORKING
🕑: 10:00 AM - 10:20 AM
WELCOME (Auditorium)
Host: Kelly Hobson, MD Shape Tomorrow
Info: With over 15 years experience in international logistics and 7 in sustainability, Kelly has a unique and broad blend of knowledge and passion in supply chain decarbonisation and systematic change. In it's second year, SLL is more about the now and understanding how sustainability can be commercialised to achieve mass market adoption. Collaboration sits at the heart of action and the unique blend of industry expertise, academic research and peer to peer learning, makes SLL a valuable and impact led event.
🕑: 10:20 AM - 11:10 AM
PANEL 1 - Do we need to re-evaluate how we purchase logistics? (Auditorium)
Host: Kris Bryson, Procurement Category Lead, Siemens
Info: For years, logistics procurement has been built around cost, service and increasingly tight margins. But what happens when we add carbon, resilience, innovation and long-term value to the equation? If procurement continues to reward the cheapest movement rather than the smartest outcome, are we inadvertently slowing logistics decarbonisation?
This panel brings together procurement, customer and logistics perspectives to challenge how we buy freight. We'll explore what needs to change in tenders, KPIs and supplier relationships; whether carbon should carry a commercial value; and how shippers can create enough certainty for logistics providers to invest in new solutions.
Panel Sponsor: TBA | Location: Auditorium
🕑: 11:10 AM - 11:30 AM
KEYNOTE - Logistics as an Enabler Towards Decarbonisation (Auditorium)
Host: Bonne Goedhart, Co-owner AllChiefs
Info: Decarbonising global logistics is not just a challenge, it’s an enabler of progress and innovation across the supply chain. This session explores how to embed resilience within green supply chains and how cost abatement curves help to identify and implement the most cost-effective carbon reduction levers to make action commercially viable. The foundation of this session is the joint research report with AllChiefs, Smart Freight Centre and Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University - 'Net Zero Logistics Delivered'.
🕑: 11:20 AM - 12:10 PM
BRITELAB 1 - Regulatory Developments (Sunley Room)
Host: Jamie McKean, Policy Advisor, BIFA
Info: Join this BriteLab to unpack the fast-moving regulatory landscape shaping supply chains, transport and sustainability strategy across the UK and Europe. From legislation already impacting operations today including UK and EU ETS developments, CSRD reporting obligations, CBAM and evolving disclosure expectations, to the policies expected to shape 2027 and beyond, this session will help businesses understand what matters now, what’s coming next, and where to focus investment and resource. Hear from industry experts as they explore how organisations should prioritise compliance, carbon data, governance, reporting readiness and commercial resilience within their current and future roadmaps.
🕑: 11:20 AM - 12:20 PM
BRITELAB 2 - Change Management (Drayson Room)
Host: Sarah Hills, Carpe Omnia Training
🕑: 11:20 AM - 12:10 PM
BRITELAB 3 - Where Do Electric HGVs Actually Work Today? (Council Room)
Host: David Cebon, Professor, University of Cambridge
Info: The destination may increasingly point towards electrification. The route there is considerably less straightforward.
Which routes work now? Where does total cost of ownership stack up? What happens when payload, charging, grid connections, dwell time and operational resilience enter the conversation?
This isn't an EV sales pitch.
It's an open working discussion about where battery-electric HGVs make operational and commercial sense today, where they don't yet, and how operators can identify the routes most suitable for transition.
Bring your difficult questions. This is the room to ask them. | Location: Drayson Room
🕑: 11:30 AM - 11:50 AM
PITCH FOR IMPACT - Engine Carbon Clean (Auditorium)
Host: Daniel Sturgeon, Engine Carbon Clean
Info: FLEET OPERATORS - We can be heavily led by perception in a decision making process and often don't recognise new solutions coming into the marketplace that are supporting progress. Find out how Engine Carbon Clean are delivering up to 7% fuel efficiencies across road and rail transport today. SLL2026 attendees also have access to a free trial.
🕑: 11:50 AM - 12:00 PM

NETWORKING & LUNCH
🕑: 01:00 PM - 01:50 PM
PANEL 2 - Beyond Ambition: What is reducing logistics emissions today?
Host: James Rosengren, Head of Transformation - Europe, Mars
Info: For years, logistics procurement has been built around cost, service and increasingly tight margins. But what happens when we add carbon, resilience, innovation and long-term value to the equation? If procurement continues to reward the cheapest movement rather than the smartest outcome, are we inadvertently slowing logistics decarbonisation?
This panel brings together procurement, customer and logistics perspectives to challenge how we buy freight. We'll explore what needs to change in tenders, KPIs and supplier relationships; whether carbon should carry a commercial value; and how shippers can create enough certainty for logistics providers to invest in new solutions.

BRITELAB 4 - Risk Management (Sunley Room)
Host: Robin Millington, Board Advisor, Shein
🕑: 01:00 PM - 01:50 PM
BRITELAB 5 - Further into the Sustainability Echo Chamber (Drayson Room)
Host: Briony Pete, Director, The Circular Life
Info: Engagement doesn't happen because you asked once. It builds when people feel seen, heard, and begin to trust.
In March, we introduced our Echo Chamber Tool to the SLL community: how to meet people where they are in the sustainability journey, and get clear on your non-negotiables.
Today we go deeper, with another practice from our toolbox to help you identify and unblock sustainability across the organisation.
New to the room? You don't need to have been at the first one. Back for more? This builds, rather than repeats.
The Sustainability Echo Chamber is a visual tool and suite of practices for sustainability leads facing arm's-length leadership, siloed departments and competing priorities. Come and find out how it can help you.
🕑: 01:00 PM - 01:50 PM
BRITELAB 6 - Routing for EV Fleets (Council Room)
Host: Bonne Goedhart, Co-Owner, AllChiefs
🕑: 02:00 PM - 02:50 PM
PANEL 3 - Why is Sustainable Logistics Moving too Slowly? (Auditorium)
Host: Jessica Tomkins, Supply Chain Project Director, DP World
Info: We don't have an ambition problem. We have an implementation problem. Technology exists. Pilots exist. Targets exist. Expertise exists. Yet progress remains fragmented and often painfully slow.
So, what's getting in the way?
This discussion looks beyond technology and into the harder part of transformation: leadership, culture, commercial models, internal silos, risk, competition and our willingness to share what we've learned. With perspectives spanning DP World, Ligentia, SHEIN, LEGO and the British Army, we'll explore how complex organisations actually move from agreement to action — and whether collaboration can coexist with commercial competition.
Because the next chapter of sustainable logistics won't be delivered by one sustainability team. It requires an ecosystem to move. | Panel Sponsor: Ligentia - Richard Gane, Director Customer Solutions, Ligentia | Location: Auditorium
🕑: 02:00 PM - 02:40 PM
BRITELAB 7 - ISO 14083/ GLEC Framework (Sunley Room)
Host: Tharsis Teoh, Senior Technical Manager, SFC
🕑: 02:00 PM - 02:50 PM
BRITELAB 8 - Visible Leadership (Drayson Room)
Host: Lucy Pitcher, Founder, Women in Supply Chain
Info: Doing Brilliant Work Isn't Enough: Can You Influence the People Who Need to Act
Sustainable transformation doesn't happen because somebody publishes another strategy. It happens when people understand the case for change and choose to act.
That makes communication an increasingly important leadership skill.
This interactive session explores how sustainability, logistics and supply-chain professionals can communicate complex ideas simply, build credibility internally and become more influential across their organisation.
Because being technically right isn't always enough.
If you can't bring people with you, you can't lead change
🕑: 02:00 PM - 02:50 PM
BRITELAB 9 - What Is Your Fleet Data Trying to Tell You? (Council Room)
Host: Tom Coker, COO, Intangles
Info: Before replacing a vehicle, changing fuel or investing in another piece of technology, how well do you understand the fleet you already operate?
Modern fleets generate enormous quantities of data, but fragmented systems and poor data foundations can leave operators unable to turn that information into decisions.
This BriteLab gets practical about utilisation, routing, maintenance, idling, vehicle specification, telematics, AI and the operational inefficiencies hiding in plain sight.
Bring a fleet problem. Let's interrogate what the data could tell you. | Location: Sunley Room
🕑: 03:00 PM - 03:50 PM
PANEL 4 - The 2027 Reality Check: Can Fleets Actually Electrify (Auditorium)
Host: Tharsis Teoh, Senior Technical Manager, SFC
Info: HGV electrification is moving from pilot projects into early-stage deployment—but the reality is complex, uneven, and still evolving.
This panel brings together fleet operators, infrastructure providers, and industry experts to share what’s actually working today. We’ll examine lessons learned from early adoption, the infrastructure and operational constraints still holding the market back, and how different fleet sizes are navigating the transition.
Crucially, we’ll look ahead to 2027: what will need to be in place for electrification to scale, and what decisions businesses should be making now to avoid costly missteps later.
Panel Sponsor: Alan Crowley, CEO, Exo Fleets
🕑: 03:00 PM - 03:50 PM
BRITELAB 10 - Turning Business Commitments into Logistics Action (Sunley)
Host: Camilla Barnes, Founder, Better Business. Better World
Info: For many product-based B Corps and SME's, logistics sits within the sustainability conversation but can remain a significant knowledge gap. Businesses may understand their broader environmental responsibilities but be less confident about freight emissions, what data they should be accessing, what they should expect from logistics providers, or even who internally should own the conversation.
This interactive BriteLab is designed to move SMEs from good intentions to informed action.
Rather than expecting businesses to become logistics decarbonisation experts, we'll explore how they can build enough knowledge to ask better questions, access better data and identify practical opportunities with their service providers. | Location: Drayson Room
🕑: 03:00 PM - 03:50 PM
BRITELAB 11 - Board to Loading Bay (Drayson Room)
Host: Sine Moller, Business Advisor (Ex Lego)
