Tackling Scope 3 Together: UK Retail’s 2030 Decarbonisation Summit
This event is exclusive to Sustainability Leads from BRC Retail Members.
Scope 3 emissions remain the single biggest barrier to UK retail meeting its 2030 climate commitments — and they cannot be solved by individual businesses acting alone.
Tackling Scope 3 Together brings together Retail Sustainability Leads for a focused, outcomes-driven day to move beyond ambition and best practice, and into collective action.
Grounded in the BRC Climate Action Roadmap and the Retail Net Zero Stocktake 2025, the summit will examine where progress is falling short, what will shape the next five years, and where collaboration, both within subsectors and across retail, is now essential.
The day culminates in the cocreation of a Draft 2030 Retail Scope 3 Action Charter, setting out shared priorities and next-step actions for the sector.
