COP Industry Meetup
20 November 2024
4-6PM CET
Join us online on 20 November for Shift Cycling Culture’s fifth annual COP event. Connect with industry peers as they share their latest sustainability-focused product innovations and initiatives, no matter where you are on your climate journey.
Timed with COP29, we will use some of the key findings of our 2024 Climate Action Pulse Check to take stock of our industry’s progress on climate ambitions and action.
During this interactive session, we’ll dive into Shift’s Climate Action Roadmap’s four key pillars – Business Operations, Product, Transparency & Communication, and Collaboration – and will shine a light on examples from companies driving change.
We’ll kick things off with an exciting keynote from Will Carleysmith, Chief Design and Engineering Officer at Brompton, who’ll share insights on how sustainability is fueling product innovation, including Brompton’s journey to producing their first 100% post-consumer recycled aluminium rims.
Why join?
Whether you’re just starting or looking to deepen your climate strategy, this is a great chance to connect, celebrate accomplishments, and learn from each other.
