From Strategy to Action: Sustainability Strategies #2
In July 2019 a number of members gathered to share and learn about developing a successful sustainability strategy. This follow on event will support those still putting together their strategies, but will also look at how we embed these across an organisation and ensure that we can start to deliver their objectives.

Developing your sustainability strategy:

Embedding your sustainability strategy:
- How to prioritise deliverables

The challenge of setting Net Zero targets in the charity sector and beyond
'Net zero' is becoming an increasingly familiar term, with political parties, public bodies and businesses using it to frame their decarbonisation targets.

It's a way to demonstrate commitment, and align with the 1.5 degrees pathway laid out by the IPCC. But what needs to be considered when setting a target, and what are the challenges? At our most recent Energy Managers meeting (a special interest group for practitioners working specifically to manage energy within their organisations) participants delved into this topic.
