Discover the Full Program of the 8th Green Savers Conference

October 23, 2026

8th Green Savers Conference, “Leading the Sustainable Transition”, already has the program set. On Tuesday, October 27, between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM, the Orlando Ribeiro Library Auditorium, in Telheiras, Lisbon, will host a morning of debate that brings together companies, associations and local government to discuss how to move from intentions to results in the sustainable transition.

After the reception and welcome by Rogério Junior, CEO of Green Savers, the morning opens at 9:25 with Filipe Duarte Santos, president of the National Council for Environment and Sustainable Development (CNADS), who is the keynote speaker of this edition. A geophysicist and emeritus professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, he is one of the reference voices in Portugal on climate change.

At 9:45, the panel debate “Transforming: Sustainability at the Management Table” discusses what changes when sustainability reaches investment decisions, team targets, and how performance is assessed. It brings together João Lavos, Sustainability Leader at LEROY MERLIN Portugal, Carlos Gouveia, CEO of Scoring, and Rui Nobre, COO of DPD Portugal, with moderator Marta Rangel.

After the coffee break, at 10:55, the panel “Cooperate: Nobody closes the loop alone” looks at the packaging chain from one end to the other, from those who produce and sell to those who collect and recycle. Sitting at the table are Susana Almeida, Customer Service Director of Sociedade Ponto Verde, Sandra Peixoto, CSR Manager of Central de Cervejas e Bebidas, and João Cordeiro, Executive Director of SDR Portugal, with moderator Marta Rangel.

The last panel, “Mobilize: The transition at the doorstep”, at 11:40, moves the conversation to neighborhoods, streets and everyday habits. Participants are Luís Keel Pereira, Environment and Sustainability Technician at the Lumiar Parish Council, Alexandra Azevedo, President of the National Board of Quercus, and Herculano Rebordão, Coordinator of the Lisbon Local Section of MUBi, with moderator journalist Alexandra Costa.

The closing, at 12:25, is in charge of Maria Albertina Rodrigues, president of the Scientific Council of APEE (Portuguese Association of Business Ethics).
