As sustainability regulations tighten and supply chain risks grow, the offshore industry should embed circular economy principles. Beyond compliance, circularity builds resilience — securing materials and safeguarding operations in turbulent markets.

This event aims to bring together industry leaders, supply chain experts, and innovators showcasing successful approaches that are reshaping offshore supply chain management.

Why you should attend:

  • Sustainable Supply Chain: Gain insights into how procurement can leverage AI to fulfil Scope 3 requirements, even in the face of data gaps.
  • Scope 3: We’ll delve into the guidance on circular economy and Scope 3 developed by the IMCA expert working group, with a focus on reporting obligations under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
  • Workshop: Participate in the Supply Chain Circularity Challenge – Base Case Design, where you'll build a hypothetical offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) plant using the traditional supply chain model of an EPC contractor with conventional solutions.
  • Value: Whether you're looking for advice on next steps, sharing best practices, or connecting with the circular supply chain community, this event provides a unique platform.

With practical insights and tools this event will also help understand and respond to emerging regulations and legislation on emissions reporting and reduction.

We are also looking for your input and suggestions on how IMCA should play a key role in driving this transition to circular supply chains, so please tell us what you think via email: mary.ntamark@imca-int.com and giulia.luerti@imca-int.com.

Who should attend:

Anyone interested in how to implement circular economy principles into supply chains, procurement professionals, businesses with obligations to report emissions under CRSD regulations, or suppliers in the marine sector who need to understand clients’ future requirements.
