ABOUT

Sustainability creates long-term value and resilience for organisations. Decision-makers recognise that non-financial factors affect long-term financial returns. These essential forces – climate change, social trends, new technologies, and resource management – determine whether a business is profitable and future-ready.

This event will demonstrate how the right design approach can embed sustainability into business practices, making it a driver of growth. With expert panels, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities, you’ll learn how to evolve sustainability from a buzzword into a business strategy that works. 

Event Highlights:

Expert Panels: Gain insights from leaders in design and sustainability who have turned challenges into opportunities. Discover how to craft messages that resonate and inspire action.

Interactive Workshop: Participate in a workshop focused on shifting from short-term thinking to long-term strategies. You’ll leave with actionable tools and insights.

Networking Opportunities: Connect with professionals passionate about driving change. Share ideas, collaborate, and build relationships that elevate your sustainability efforts.

This event is designed for those who want to use design, strategy and communication to create real, lasting value. Whether you’re a business leader, sustainability advocate, or designer, you’ll gain practical strategies to make a meaningful impact.
