The Supply Chain Sustainability School Annual Summit 2025 has wrapped up, and what an incredible day it was! On behalf of BuySocial.ie, we want to extend our deepest thanks to everyone who made this event a resounding success.
First and foremost, our heartfelt gratitude goes to the Supply Chain Sustainability School for inviting us to MC this inspiring event. It was an absolute honour to be part of a summit that brought together such a dynamic and passionate group of individuals and organisations committed to driving sustainability in the built environment.
A huge thank you to all of the speakers, whose expertise and insights captivated the audience:
•Charles Mitchell, for his thought-provoking keynote on sustainable public procurement.
•Dr. Paul Leahy, for shedding light on innovations in decommissioning wind turbine blades.
•Our brilliant panelists—Anthony Burrowes, Linda O’Sullivan, Marie Hunt, Sarah Chatfield, and Seán McCaffrey—who shared their expertise on creating social impact through supply chains.
•Ingrid De Doncker, for her engaging session on governance and sustainability reporting.
To the partners, including Arup, Cairn Homes, ESB, Gas Networks Ireland, Iarnród Éireann, Kingspan, and so many others—thank you for your collaboration and for sharing your insights. Your contributions were invaluable in driving the conversations that will shape the future of sustainability in our sector.
All of this because of the excellent work done by the Irish team, Pamela, Poppy and Andrew. Fantastic working with you all.
And, of course, to everyone who attended—thank you for bringing your energy, curiosity, and ideas to the table. Your commitment to learning and collaboration is what will truly drive change.
The theme, Driving Sustainability Through Partnership, was brought to life in every session, every conversation, and every connection made on the day. We’re proud to have played a part in facilitating these vital discussions and can’t wait to see the ripple effects of this summit throughout Ireland and beyond.
Here’s to continuing the journey toward a more sustainable, inclusive, and impactful future—together!
