RE-IMAGINING PRODUCTS

Why Is Product Reinvention So Hard? (14.30-15.30)

Most emissions reductions so far have come from business operations — buildings, energy use, vehicles — rather than the products businesses make. But that approach is reaching its limits. The session explores redesigning products from the ground up, rethinking materials and business models, and confronting the trade-offs that come with real change.

We're bringing together interesting minds across sustainability, business, and academia — and we're doing it at one of London's most iconic addresses. Somerset House sits right on the Thames and is the kind of venue that makes your ideas feel bigger the moment you walk in.

Address: Somerset House, New Wing 
➡️ View on Google Maps

Somerset House's New Wing is located on Lancaster Place, London WC2R 1LA, just off the Strand. The nearest tube station is Charing Cross (Bakerloo, Jubilee, and Northern lines, 8-minute walk).

If cycling, there are Santander Cycle docking stations nearby on Surrey Street and Waterloo Bridge. We'd encourage you to avoid driving given limited parking in the area, but if needed, the nearest NCP car park is on Parker Street. 

More speakers will be announced soon. Got burning questions or topics keeping you up at night? Slide into our inbox at info@engage.slrconsulting.com
