Procurement & Pinot

Join us for an exciting evening of Procurement & Pinot at Monterey Brasserie showcasing the pioneering work of SABA (Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance) and ZEMBA (Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance) as they lead the way to net-zero aviation and zero-emission maritime shipping.

The event will spotlight SABA and ZEMBA's work catalyzing new markets by aggregating member company demand for low or zero-carbon products and managing competitive joint procurement processes. We will discuss the important role collective procurement plays in driving a lower emission future and the innovative approaches taken by both initiatives, with insights into their procurement mechanisms and their efforts to standardize the aviation and maritime environmental attribute markets, including by supporting registry development. A live panel discussion will feature leaders from Fortune 500 companies who are driving change through SABA and ZEMBA to reduce their aviation and shipping emissions and transform these hard-to-abate sectors.

We will wrap up the evening with hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, and mingling! We can't wait to see you there!

About us

• SABA is a non-profit initiative of EDF and RMI that is accelerating the path to net-zero aviation by driving investment in, and adoption of, high-integrity sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and supporting companies, airlines and freight customers in achieving their climate goals.
• ZEMBA is a first-of-its-kind buyers group within the maritime sector, the aim of which is to accelerate commercial deployment of zero-emission shipping, enable economies of scale, and help cargo owners maximize emissions reduction potential beyond what any one freight buyer could accomplish alone. ZEMBA is an initiative of Cargo Owners for Zero Emission Vessels and facilitated by the Aspen Institute’s Energy and Environment Program.
