Chris Low, head of sustainability procurement and packaging at Haleon, is speaking at this year’s Sustainable Supply Chain Conference, returning to 30 Euston Square in London on 24 June 2025.
Low is at the forefront of sustainable procurement and packaging. Currently, he is steering consumer health company Haleon’s ambitious sustainable supply chain programme, leveraging carbon pricing as a central element in the economic framework for supplier selection.
Top emitting suppliers have been asked to sign up to a five-point pledge driving decarbonisation activities from baselining to the transition to renewables. With an illustrious international career mostly in procurement, Low has excelled in category management, strategic sourcing, sustainability initiatives, team engagement, capability training and outsourcing. Prior to his current role, he played a pivotal role in leading packaging procurement for Haleon.
Session title: Driving decarbonisation through the supply chain to maximise collective impact
- The importance of incentives, clear asks and partnerships in achieving sustainability goals
- What is needed to decarbonise a supply chain
- How to build collective knowledge and maturity
The conference, which will be held at 30 Euston Square, is a one-day face-to-face event where delegates can hear directly from industry-leading speakers about how business sustainability can influence their bottom line.
Innovation will continue to drive supply chain sustainability in the years to come. At the Sustainable Supply Chain Conference, delegates will learn how to ‘go green’ throughout their end-to-end operations, discussing topics such as the decarbonisation of road freight transport, the importance of industry collaboration to meet sustainability goals and how sustainable practises can actually be used to drive sales. Overall, the conference will consider the environmental and human impact of products, from cradle to grave.
From raw materials sourcing, production, storage and delivery to every transportation link in-between, the journey is not easy – the complexity of many supplier relationships and border crossings makes supply chain sustainability extremely challenging. But the payback for getting it right is priceless, delivering on the three ‘P’s of the bottom line – people, profits and the planet.
Amongst the list of speakers already announced for the conference are representatives of organisations such as NHS England, Bidfood, Haleon and OLPRO, as well as sponsors of the conference Descartes and Aurora Insights.
