Net-zero commitments and sustainability targets should be dominating conversations at senior level in businesses throughout the UK.
However, recent YouGov research showed that only 18% of UK SMEs and 46% of UK large businesses are aware of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. With SMEs making up 99% of UK businesses, it shows it’s time for UK business owners and leaders to get serious about sustainability.
The need for businesses of all sizes and industries to understand the importance of sustainability in their operating model has never been more crucial. In times of economic downturns, proactively looking at sustainability systems can help your business adapt rapidly to uncertainties, save money, increase efficiencies, improve brand reputation, and improve staff engagement.
We'll be covering:
- How do you ensure sustainable initiatives are built into your operating model?
- What are the associated cost risks, and how do you mitigate them?
- If you’re already on board, how do you take sustainability targets to the next level to benefit your business?
- ISO 14001 Environmental Management and sustainability
Join this Management Today Insight webinar, produced in partnership with BSI, to find out the answer to these questions, and why the road to your business embracing sustainability starts now.

I’ve spent the last 20 years working at the intersection of Leadership, Sustainability, and Change. I’ve led pioneering internal and external Change initiatives and designed hundreds of immersive and powerful learning programmes across all sectors, but mostly in the corporate sector. I am relentlessly driven by the desire to bring people and organisations together to create lasting positive change in the world. At times this is both exhausting and difficult and yet my desire to pursue this ambition does not fade in the slightest.
