Formerly known as the Environmental Packaging Summit and Awards, the Packaging News Sustainability & Impact Summit and Awards return on Tuesday 14 July at the KIA Oval, London, representing an evolution of a long-standing and trusted programme.

The new name reflects how the packaging sustainability conversation has matured, moving beyond environmental intent to measurable impact, commercial reality and system-wide change.

While the core principles remain the same - rigorous benchmarking, independent expert judging and practical industry insight - the evolved Sustainability & Impact platform broadens its scope to better reflect today’s challenges. It now encompasses circularity, carbon reduction, regulatory reform, innovation and real-world implementation across the full packaging and waste value chain.

Together, the Summit and Awards provide a joined-up platform to recognise leadership, share best practice and help businesses navigate tightening regulation, rising costs and increasing scrutiny.

The Sustainability & Impact Summit and Awards continue to offer the same credibility and rigour the industry trusts, delivered through a clearer, more future-focused lens.

As an added benefit, delegates who book their place before Friday 29 May will also receive access to complimentary Surrey Cricket match tickets at the Kia Oval, with a range of fixtures available throughout the season.
