About the event

Join Mark Kenber, Executive Director, VCMI and Brennan Spellacy, Founder & CEO, Patch at Asmani for a relaxed dinner with a small group of senior sustainability leaders during COP31. Set against sweeping views of the Mediterranean and Bey Mountains, Asmani’s farm-to-table ethos and focus on fresh, locally rooted ingredients will provide the backdrop for an informal evening.

The conversation will focus on insetting and what the new SBTi standard means for companies considering it as an alternative or complement to offsets. This will be a low-key gathering with no presentations or panel, just good food, thoughtful conversation, and a chance to unwind with peers after a long day of conferencing.
