Decarbonisation Pathways APAC

Accelerating Nickel and Steel Supply Chain Impact Reduction

Workshop Date
3rd December 2025,
Jakarta, Indonesia

Minviro will convene leaders from industry, government, academia, and civil society for a high-impact workshop on decarbonising Southeast Asia’s metals sector. This *exclusive event will focus on actionable strategies for reducing emissions in nickel, steel, and critical mineral supply chains, informed by the latest Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment research.

WHY ATTEND

Be Where APAC Leaders Turn Insights Into Action

Lead with credibility in a changing market

Global regulations like the EU Battery Regulation and CBAM are reshaping supply chains today. Be the voice of authority in APAC by applying science-based LCA insights that policymakers, investors, and OEMs already expect.

Future-proof your strategy to meet growing expectations

Life Cycle Assessment is becoming the license to operate. Walk away with frameworks and case studies that help you secure market access, strengthen investor trust, and stay ahead of compliance demands before they close in.

Engage and grow by evidence-based dialogue and discussion

This workshop brings together diverse perspectives from industry, government, and academia. Contribute your expertise, test ideas against real-world challenges, and gain clarity on how LCA is shaping decisions across the metals and battery sectors.
