Powering Change: Join ERM at London Climate Action Week – A global hub for climate solutions, innovation, and impact.
London Climate Action Week (LCAW) takes place across the city on the 21-29 June. Held annually, convening the whole of society at various events to support decarbonization and resilience.
ERM is dedicated to helping companies accelerate the integration of sustainability deep into their operations. Our experts will be speaking, attending and hosting a number of events at various venues across the week including:
Ready, Set, Heat: Scaling Electrification Solutions for Net-Zero Industry
Date: 24 June
Time: 11:30-12:30
Join WBCSD, ERM, and the Regulatory Assistance Project to gain deeper understanding of on-the-ground advancements in electrification solutions for industry as well as the current policy landscape.
Industry accounts for 25% of total CO₂ emissions from energy systems, with process heat making up nearly two-thirds of industrial energy demand. Today, more than 80% of this heat still comes from fossil fuels, even though it can be electrified. The session will showcase the potential of industrial electrification and highlight successful projects that demonstrate real-world implementation. Additionally, it will provide a platform to discuss the latest policy, financial, and business developments shaping industrial decarbonization in Europe.
Reorientating decarbonization programs to unlock value creation in manufacturing
Date: 24 June
Time: 14:00pm-15:00pm
ERM will bring together industry professionals from consumer, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, to explore how to reorient their decarbonization programs to deliver material value creation and risk mitigation. The session will discuss practical tools and case studies on how to revamp your decarbonization plan to unlock the underlying business case in the face of an evolving regulatory landscape. Leading industry figures and ERM speakers will discuss how to leverage decarbonization to reduce costs, defend revenues by meeting customer’s tightening procurement needs, and boost competitive positioning. They will also share latest thinking on how to ensure your decarbonization business case remains valid, capex plans are aligned to budget expectations, and shareholders reassured about business resilience.

24/7 clean energy: navigating investments in long-duration energy storage (LDES)
Date: 25 June
Time: 9am-10:30am
The world is racing to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030. However, without long-duration energy storage, clean power cannot be reliably available around the clock. This roundtable will explore the idea that long-duration energy storage is essential to achieving the 3x renewables target, especially now that significant renewable capacity is already in place. These solutions play a strategic role in enabling energy security and system resilience in a renewable-powered world by strengthening grid stability, supporting flexibility, and accelerating the shift away from fossil fuels.
During this roundtable, we will dive into the investment case for scaling long-duration energy storage solutions, exploring innovative business models like co-location with renewables, enabling policy incentives, and lessons learned from real-world deployments. This will be a key moment to identify how we can collectively accelerate action on LDES and unlock the $4 trillion investment opportunity these technologies represent.
Business leaders’ guide to Just Transition
Date: 25 June
Time: 14:00-17:00
Fine-tune the practical approach to incorporating the people dimension to climate transition plans.
It’s in our nature: Capturing value from nature in the carbon markets, a buyer's perspective in a world in flux
Date: 26 June
Time: 11:00am-12:00pm
Taking place during London Climate Action Week, this session will help carbon credit buyers navigate the global uncertainty, growing interest in climate and nature finance ahead of COP30 and ever-growing evidence of climate and nature crises. It will help identify where can value be driven across this market for corporates wanting to contribute but are unsure of benefits and how does nature fit into this story and why the value goes beyond carbon. It will also touch upon the main differences between the compliance and the voluntary carbon markets.
