Navigating EU Risks: Confident SBTi Decisions from Day 1

12 Sep (Fri) Day 2 : 10:00 – 11:30

By 2030, the $13 trillion food industry could lose 10–50% of its profits due to climate change impacts on innovation, sourcing, and operations. On top of this, poor-quality data and fragmented reporting systems cost companies an average of $12.9 million annually, leaving many climate-critical decisions delayed in spreadsheets and silos. The urgency is compounded by rising regulatory pressure, from the EU’s CSRD, EUDR, and ETS, and the global demand for science-based targets (SBTi) to halve emissions by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050.

This workshop will demonstrate how Unibloom can transform sustainability from a compliance cost to a business growth strategy & cost-savings. Participants will learn how the platform delivers 60–100% more precise data, enabling low-risk sourcing, faster collaboration for more sustainable innovation, and real time scenario modeling across supply chains.

With clients already achieving 15% cost savings, 80% faster decision-making, and 60% better data accuracy, Unibloom provides the tools for sustainable sourcing teams, sustainable innovation and sustainability managers in producing companies and retailers, who are primarily in need for better data, smarter digital tools and productivity gains. The insights help them act confidently, protect margins, and drive sustainable innovation and move from 2 years of uncertainty and guess work to minutes of real time insights.

Learnings

  •  Understand how climate risks and regulatory pressures (CSRD, EUDR, EU ETS) impact profitability and investment decisions.
  •  Learn why data gaps, supplier silos, and generic factors slow climate action and increase costs.
  •  Explore how science-based targets (SBTi) provide a clear framework for credible emissions reduction and science backed investment decisions.
  • See how Unibloom’s platform models initiatives, improves data precision by 60–100%, and accelerates collaboration.
  • Gain investor insights into how sustainability decisions can protect margins and unlock long-term ROI.

Post-Event Actions

  • Set up a demo account with Unibloom and experiment with modeling different sustainability scenarios.
  • Engage with our LCA expert, Dr. Johnson K. Lau (PhD, University of Nottingham), to ask questions and gain deeper insights.
  • Discover how to connect your Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) and recipes directly within the Unibloom platform to switch to lower carbon operations, cost-effectively.

Speakers

Dr. Johnson Lau

Unibloom World

Lead Expert in LCA, Innovation and Database Development

Dr. Johnson Lau is the Lead Expert in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Innovation, and Database Development at Unibloom, a Climate & Financial Data & Simulation platform aligned with SBTi. With deep expertise in translating science into actionable sustainability strategies, Johnson leads science-based solutions and develops LCA methodologies to help companies simulate sustainability targets, evaluate emission reduction initiatives, and prioritize actions with both environmental and financial impact in mind.

Johnson is also responsible for enhancing Unibloom’s database capacities, eliminating data gaps, and modeling emissions grounded in ISO 14040/14044 standards. By applying regionalised data rather than global averages, he equips companies with more precise insights to guide low-risk decision-making. His scientific rigor enables him to identify key hotspots across value chains, empowering organisations to act on sustainability initiatives that maximize ROI while meeting regulatory and climate goals.

Prior to joining Unibloom, Johnson earned an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) from the University of Nottingham and a Master of Engineering (MEng) from the University of Oxford. He is also an Associate Member of the Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and has extensive experience of conducting research for the bioenergy and agricultural industries. With expertise spanning regulations, system modelling, and interdisciplinary innovation, Johnson provides thought leadership that bridges technical and scientific excellence with business strategy in climate action.
