Create a sustainability policy
Sustainability makes businesses and organisations more resilient, profitable and desirable.
People want to work for companies with strong environmental values.
Customers want to buy from brands that care about the planet.
Experts advise that if you’re not taking sustainability seriously now, your business won’t survive this wave of change.
Which is why 50% of businesses already have a sustainability policy in place.
It’s not just another box ticking exercise, or stale document that’s going to sit gathering pixel dust on your harddrive. Your sustainability policy is a roadmap towards:
- More motivated employees
- More customers
- More press coverage and recognition
- Becoming an industry leader
- And making meaningful, lasting changes for the benefit of people and planet
Sustainability affects every part of your business or organisation, which is why it feels like a daunting task.
You might be nervous that your environmental efforts will be perceived as greenwash, and attract criticism or negative press.
You might be unsure where to start, wondering what you can do, or worried that your staff and stakeholders won’t buy into it.
And that’s where a clear sustainability policy can really help.
With defined targets and a timeline in place, you’ll be able to show your commitment and prove that you’re not greenwashing.
By understanding how you can have a positive impact across your organisation, you’ll be able to demonstrate your commitment and report on your progress.
Creating a sustainability policy is an opportunity to engage your team, learn more about their values, and find new opportunities to make a difference.

Case Studies
It was very hands on and practical. I really appreciated the structure - going from the bigger issues to what that means for the business. I think most organisations - solo, big or small - get stuck at the high level issues and are not sure how to ground this in their own business. The process, examples, tools were very helpful in understanding and applying sustainability. Creating an Engaging Sustainability Policy Workshop April 2021

I’ve been the office green champion before it was a thing; taking the office composting home on my bike and wondering why nobody cares as much as me. When I first had my environmental epiphany, I thought I should go and save the rainforests and then I realised I should start with the industry that I worked in, the events sector. I reskilled in sustainable events and became an ‘intrepreneur’ looking to make change from within- so this is why I am committed to supporting Green Champions in all sectors as I know how pivotal you can be and how it can feel as a lone ranger or a small group taking on the social norms and culture of an organisation or an industry.
