Net zero, or the urge to shift towards a greener and sustainable environment, can be called the need of the hour. But what is Net zero, and how well is the industry moving towards it? Is the industry making compromises as a sector to strengthen long-term efforts?
Get all the answers on Monday, June 1, at ALFED EnvironmentAl Sustainability Strategy Day. This one-day event will take place at the BMA House in London and will include experts from the United Kingdom's thriving aluminium supply chain to network, learn about new prospects, and tackle some of the industry's most serious issues.

"The aluminium industry is a vital part of the manufacturing sector and an essential component of the UK economy, playing a key role in our national transition towards a more sustainable future. But what's the reality behind net zero? As a sector, are we making sacrifices in a bid to boost sustainability efforts, or are we being hampered by misinformation, energy instability and a lack of governance?" said Tom Jones, ALFED's Chief Executive Officer.
Along with a keynote talk on carbon content from Lord Rupert Redesdale, the event will include presentations from groups such as Zenergi, Fast Forward Zero, Open Market Energy, and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, among others. A series of panel discussions will occur throughout the day on greenshoring, carbon leakage, and waste elimination, bringing together thought leaders from business, policy, sustainability, and academia.
In the face of stringent environmental rules and approaching sustainability requirements, decarbonising the supply chain and hastening its transition to net zero will define the aluminium industry for years. Speakers and attendees at this year's EnvironmentAl Sustainability Strategy Day will focus on these topics, sharing their knowledge and experiences to foster development and propel advancement.

Tom Jones added, "Ahead of our inaugural EnvironmentAl Sustainability Strategy Day, we've been working around the clock to bring together some of the supply chain's most notable voices. Alongside the realities of decarbonisation, they'll be sharing their thoughts on the net zero imperative, the drive to make carbon reduction commercially viable and the need to build on a robust strategy to carve a new path for the future."
