Sweep at London Climate Action Week 2026

London Climate Action Week is where climate ambition meets implementation, and the gap between the two has never felt more important to close. This year, Sweep joined the conversation across three events, each tackling a different piece of the same puzzle: how do businesses turn climate data into climate action?

Goals House: Moving Sustainability from Compliance to Growth

Sweep co-hosted a roundtable at Goals House moderated by a Senior Fellow from Said Business School, University of Oxford. Sustainability leaders from logistics, finance, beauty and advertising gathered to tackle one question: how do you move sustainability from a compliance exercise to a genuine driver of growth?

We heard how decarbonisation is already generating real commercial returns, from port tariffs funding the shift to low-emission logistics, to scope 3 data reshaping sourcing decisions, to sustainability credentials unlocking investor confidence. The tools and the data exist. The harder challenge is building the internal culture and organisational alignment to act on them consistently.

DitchCarbon x Scope 3 Peer Group: Scope 3 AI Action Afternoon

Sweep CEO Rachel Delacour joined panellists from SAP, Sandoz, and NatWest to debate where AI is creating real climate impact, and where it is still hype. Three themes stood out: the reliability of AI-driven data collection over manual processes; the shift from annual reporting to always-on compliance across frameworks including CSRD and ESRS; and the importance of measuring AI’s own emissions footprint honestly. Sweep commissioned a full Life Cycle Assessment of its platform and surfaces each client’s AI-related emissions in real time inside the product.

The session also highlighted what genuine scope 3 visibility looks like in practice. One Sweep enterprise client in transportation equipment manufacturing now has procurement teams seeing, in their own workflow, how a sourcing decision impacts on their emissions. That kind of visibility used to arrive in a quarterly report, months too late to influence anything.

CCF x Sweep: Measuring Corporate Climate Contribution

Sweep co-hosted an afternoon at The Conduit with the Climate Contribution Framework team, drawing over 115 attendees from across business, policy and research. The central question: how do you fairly measure a company’s full contribution to global net zero, not just its emissions?

Angel Hsu of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill set the scene in her keynote. Net zero commitments are holding firm across the Forbes 2000, but only 7% of companies meet the bar for a genuinely credible pledge. Momentum is real; integrity is the work still to be done. 

A panel moderated by Brad Schallert of Winrock International pushed further into avoided emissions, with Marvin Henry of WBCSD, Esther Finidori of Schneider Electric, and Jane Eisenhardt of the Environmental Defence Fund making the case that measuring what companies emit is only half the story. What their solutions help others avoid matters just as much. 

The session closed with EDF Group’s Carine de Boissezon walking through a live CCF scorecard using real company data. Ten companies have now published their CCF scores publicly.

The bottom line

Across all three events, the same message came through in different forms: the data and the tools exist, but the gap between having information and acting on it remains too wide. Whether it is scope 3 visibility reaching procurement teams, sustainability making the case for commercial returns, or climate contribution being measured in a way that reflects a company’s full picture, the opportunity is in closing that gap. That is what Sweep is built to do.
