Sustainability through collaboration | Trio Brand Launch | London, UK | June 11, 2024

Sustainability through collaboration

On June 11, Trio hosted a very special event to celebrate the launch of our new brand in Europe. Clients, partners, and industry professionals gathered for an evening of gourmet catering and cocktails in the exquisite surroundings of The Ned in London, while connecting with like-minded professionals who are passionate about leading sustainable action in their organizations.

Under the theme ‘Sustainability through collaboration’, we held insightful fireside chats focusing on the areas of clean energy and decarbonization.To open the event program, Damir Ahmovic, President, Europe of Trio, introduced our new name, Trio, and commitment to paving the way for a sustainable future. We’re excited to accelerate our integrated approach to serving clients as one global brand.

Trio’s Emma Arnold, Sustainability Director, led the first engaging discussion about the role of collaboration in sustainability with Carey Group’s Daniel Evans, Vattenfall’s Bhavya Patel, and Following the Footprints’ Emma Lindsay. Daniel Evans highlighted Carey Group’s partnership with Trio in setting SBTi-aligned targets and emphasized the importance of collaboration in their sustainability approach. Bhavya Patel discussed Vattenfall’s goal of fossil fuel-free living within one generation, showcasing how collaboration with governments, industry partners, and communities is key to their success. Emma Lindsay shared her experience working for an FMCG organization on its journey towards circularity and how collaborative efforts supported their decarbonization initiatives. 

Featuring insights from London Stock Exchange Group’s Wayne Bryan and Macquarie’s Harry Vickers, the second panel focused on the collaborative potential of corporations in accelerating decarbonization through PPAs. This conversation, moderated by Trio’s Corina Melchor, Senior Clean Energy Advisor, explored the volatility in energy markets and its impact, as well as the risk mitigation and cost benefits of multi-buyer PPAs. The panelists highlighted the importance of internal alignment, preparation, clear objectives, and collaborative partnerships in achieving sustainability goals. The speakers also agreed that corporate PPAs are a crucial tool for companies seeking to decarbonize and navigate volatile markets effectively.

We would like to thank our clients and special guests for sharing their insights, experiences, and successes. Finally, a huge thank you to everyone that attended – we hope you enjoyed the celebrations as much as we did!
