We were live at the Heathrow Business Summit 2025, and the atmosphere at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham captured exactly what you’d expect when forward-thinking businesses come together around a shared purpose.
Under this year’s theme, “Gateway to Growth,” the Summit brought together more than 700 companies and over 1,200 visitors, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), suppliers, partners, and strategic stakeholders to explore opportunities for collaboration, partnership, and sustainable business growth.
This dynamic event is one of the UK’s flagship business gatherings, designed to connect SMEs with Heathrow’s extensive supply chain network, highlight procurement pathways, and open doors for long-term partnerships that support inclusive and responsible growth.
At the heart of these conversations was a clear sense that sustainability isn’t an add-on it’s central to business resilience, innovation, and meaningful impact.
Bringing Sustainability Intelligence to the Summit
From the moment we arrived, the energy around responsible growth and data-led decision making was real and focused. SALI (Sustainability Assessment Reporting and Learning Intelligence) was proud to showcase our AI-powered Assessments, Gap Analysis tools, dMRV capabilities, and GHG Calculator with LCA tools built to help organisations understand where they stand, identify opportunities for improvement, and move toward measurable, responsible growth.
The conversations at the Summit were grounded in a shared recognition that data intelligence, accountability, and innovation are not just buzzwords, they are essential enablers of sustainable business growth. Leaders, innovators, and decision-makers engaged deeply around how sustainability reporting and performance intelligence shape strategy, investment, procurement, and long-term resilience.
If you were at the Summit, we hope you had a chance to stop by the SALI stand and see how our platform turns sustainability goals into measurable outcomes. If not, we’re always open to continuing the conversation.
Connecting Leaders, Suppliers, and Innovators
The Heathrow Business Summit provided a vibrant space for engagement. We connected with business leaders, suppliers, and strategic partners who are thinking critically about sustainability’s role in their organisations’ futures. It was inspiring to hear how many attendees are eager to turn intention into impact moving beyond aspiration to real, measurable action.
Across the day, discussions ranged from broader economic growth to specific pathways for organisations to align with Heathrow’s evolving procurement priorities and sustainability commitments. The Summit also emphasised the importance of resilience, collaboration, and shared opportunity, themes that resonate deeply with SALI’s mission.

Sustainability Intelligence in Action
At the SALI stand, we showcased how Sustainability Assessment Reporting and Learning Intelligence helps organisations simplify sustainability and turn data into measurable impact.
Our AI powered platform demonstrated how businesses can understand where they stand today, identify gaps, and take practical steps toward improvement. Through tools such as our Gap Analysis framework, AI powered Assessments, dMRV Tool, and GHG Calculator with Life Cycle Assessment capabilities, visitors were able to see how sustainability reporting can become clearer, more structured, and more decision ready.
The conversations were practical and focused. Business leaders shared real challenges around reporting, accountability, and procurement alignment. It was encouraging to see strong interest in using sustainability intelligence not just for compliance, but as a driver of growth and resilience.
Meaningful Conversations With the Business Community
Over the course of the Summit, we connected with business leaders, partners, and innovators who are actively looking for ways to embed sustainability into their operations.
Many organisations are ready to move beyond intention. They want tools that help them track progress, demonstrate impact, and align with globally relevant sustainability standards. The discussions at the SALI stand reflected this shift toward action and measurable outcomes.
The Summit provided a valuable space for open dialogue, learning, and connection. It reinforced the role that data, transparency, and accountability play in shaping the next phase of responsible business.

We would like to thank everyone who visited the SALI stand and took the time to engage with our team. Your questions, insights, and openness to exploring new approaches to sustainability made the experience meaningful.
We also extend our thanks to the Heathrow Business Summit organisers for bringing together such a strong and engaged business community. The event continues to play an important role in connecting organisations and supporting growth across the supply chain.
The Heathrow Business Summit remains a vital platform for businesses seeking to grow with purpose. At SALI, we remain committed to supporting organisations with the tools and intelligence they need to turn sustainability goals into practical, measurable results.
We look forward to continuing these conversations and working with organisations that see sustainability as a foundation for long-term growth.
