Sustainability – Packing a Punch, ideas to make your Charity more sustainable
Here is an overview of what we will be exploring together
Sustainability is a real-world challenge for charities with reputation and accountability, and value on investment is a key focus for the sector. In this presentation, Acopia is joined by leading expert Robert Barnard-Weston, often called the ‘Grandfather of Sustainability’ and Director of Transform ESG.
This interactive presentation will focus on the broad issues around sustainability and how charity retailers can make small steps that can deliver tremendous impact and create value with employees, customers and wider stakeholders. We’ll focus on improving both profit and people engagement, all while benefiting the planet.
This session will open your eyes to opportunities created by recent changes and will include plenty of discussions and creative ideas. You’ll leave buzzing with inspiration of how you can transform your approach to sustainability.
You’ll receive
- Clear understanding of the sustainability potential in the charity retail sector
- Practical insight of how charities are addressing the sustainability issue
- Way that we can all work together to a collective end
- Steps that can be taken today for a better tomorrow
