Workshop details
Sustainability is more than a nice-to-have for business, it is becoming increasingly material to commercial success or failure.
Shoreditch Business School in collaboration with the UK’s leading independent sustainability driven business group, the Environmental Business Network, are hosting a half-day workshop on how businesses can use sustainability for commercial opportunity.
As the environmental and economic landscape evolves, London’s businesses face both challenge and opportunity.

- Maximising commercial opportunity when delivering sustainability change programmes

Sustainability as a Commercial Advantage: Driving Growth, ROI and Competitive Value
In the current challenging geopolitical climate, sustainability is increasingly moving to the centre of business operations. This workshop will help you understand the role sustainability plays in everything from data collection, supply chain management, social value, energy and waste.
You do not need to be working in a sustainability, CSR or social value role, the workshop focuses on how all leaders and managers now have a responsibility to identify the value and commercial benefit in sustainability initiatives.
This workshop is a pathway to Shoreditch Business School’s level 5 and level 7 Sustainability leadership courses, accredited by the Chartered Management Institute.
You are able to use the fee from this workshop to discount the full cost of studying the Sustainability Management and Leadership (Level 5 Award) or Strategic Sustainability (Level 7 Award) with Shoreditch Business School.
