Just Transition Leadership

Conference I

19 – 21 March 2025, Hotel Pestana Lisboa, Lisbon

We invite managers from the chemical, pharmaceutical, rubber and plastics industry sector to take part in this conference on Sustainable Leadership of Just Transition towards Climate Neutrality.

The conference is part of an EU-funded project that will identify sustainable leadership skills and tools for managers and employers needed to implement sustainable Just Transition initiatives now and in the future. The project will identify concrete actions and best practices for this Just Transition. You can read more about this project below and on the project website via this link.

During this first conference, the objectives, aims and deliverables of the entire JUS[T]RANS LEAD project will be presented and discussed.

We will introduce the first results from the Jus[T]rans Best Practices Survey and the Just[T]rans Skills Desk Research by a leading academic institution.

Participants will be invited to provide feedback on the first version of the Just Transition Best Practice Guide for managers.

A core part of the program will include the presentation on individual good and best practices for the sustainable management of Just Transition in companies within the chemical, pharmaceutical, rubber and plastics industry across the EU, as well as round table discussion on national and European social partner activities.

The Conference and the stay in Lisbon will be financed by the project that is co-financed by the EU. Flight tickets can be reimbursed by up to 350 Euros. See more under “Travel Costs".
