Do you want to create a sustainability policy and an action plan but you don’t know where to start?
Are clients or staff asking about sustainability policy?
According to HSBC (Made for the Future report, 2019) 48% of businesses say they see sustainability as part of their growth plans.
In a recent survey we found 50% of organisations already had a policy in place.
- As the public becomes more aware of sustainability, businesses with a clear policy have an advantage when pitching for clients, work and new staff.
But when you think of creating a policy, you may feel;
- Overwhelmed and confused about how to begin
- Nervous it may be perceived as greenwash
- Unsure on how to capture your business and staff values and ambitions
- Concerned your staff and team won’t support or buy in to it
If this sounds familiar, you won’t want to miss our Sustainability Policy Workshop.
Bring your team along
If you book in as a small or large business, bring a couple of team members along and you can start working on your own policy.
Freelancers or solopreneurs will collaborate with others in the group to share ideas and tips to develop their clients’ policy.
Following this interactive step-by-step workshop you will have the clarity, competence and confidence to create a compelling and meaningful policy.
You don’t need to have a strategy or initiatives in place. This workshop is for organisations, freelancers, event managers and green champions at the beginning of their journeys who have a commitment but don’t know where to start.
On completion you will be able to:
- Capture your vision, values and concerns
- Identify your priorities
- Create targets and an action plan
- Get buy-in from teams and departments

BIO:
Livvy Drake and the Sustainable Sidekicks exist to empower green champions, business owners and event managers along their sustainability journeys through training, support, consultancy and audits.
Livvy has delivered sustainability policy workshops with a range of clients from charities to event management companies and even a rowing team! As a consultant, auditing suppliers, she regularly reads companies online policies and always questions vague generic policies. She also works with a lot of organisations where people have conflicting ideas and has found conducting these workshops is the most effective way of focusing a team, removing tension and delivering change.
“Your ability to bring a team together, think through the big picture and how CYN impacts on our environment was great but even more impressive was how you then took the group through the difficult detail of how we might change our operations, purchasing, travel, building management and youth work to achieve the impact we wanted. Your eye for detail is impressive – down to the cost of organic pasta and up to the costs of solar arrays on our roofs. You have set us on the path to NetZero! It was a pleasure working with you. Thank you.”
- Sandy Hore-Ruthven, Chied Executive Creative Youth Network
