The IPBN was delighted to invite all its members to the 5th edition of its Annual St Patrick’s Day Sustainability conference at the Chamber of Commerce & Industry of Portugal (CCIP) in Lisbon on Tuesday March 19 from 9h to 13h in presence of H.E. Alma Ní Choigligh, Ambassador of Ireland to Portugal, Geoffrey Graham, Chair of the IPBN Board, IPBN Board Members, our Executive Partners and Enterprise Ireland.
The conference this year focused on the development, innovation, and challenges faced in three different areas: Air, Sea, and Food with three panel discussions and several talks led by industry experts.
We reviewed the EU plenary agreement on ReFuelEU in the Aviation sector, which Brussels voted on last September in the European Parliament. This agreement marks the first-ever Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate in the EU. We discussed its implications and what this means for the future transformation of the Aviation Industry.
We assessed the solutions developed to drive sustainable economic value from healthy oceans with the participation of Blueinsight, a Marine autonomous robotics start-up based at the Technology Park CEiiA in Matosinhos, and this year's IPBN Business Success Award winner Enerview Solutions, a leading renewable energy solutions company doing business in Portugal and Ireland.
We discussed Food and Nutrition and their interfaces with our health and well-being with the participation of our new academic partner the University Catolica do Porto and its Higher School of Biotechnology, a reference institution in the domain.
In between these panels’ conversations, there was two discussions with IPBN members and another recent IPBN Business Success Award Winner.
The first discussion was about social and environmental innovation with pedagogy actions to change our current consumption habits.
The second one about how a project like Oxy Carbon can help companies achieve their carbon zero objectives in view of the impact and challenges of the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) for businesses of all sizes to take effect in January 2025.
You can check all the details about our guest speakers in the programme below.
There was plenty of time to network with all the guest speakers and delegates.
Special thank you to our sponsors and IPBN members Aluline and AGREEN Full Cycle Building Management and all our Executive Partners to make this conference possible. And thank you again for the loyal support of the Chamber of Commerce & Industry of Portugal (CCIP) in Lisbon, who has been hosting all our Sustainability conferences since 2019.
