Clean Futures - Sustainability: Measuring Impact

Event details

This masterclass is part of a series of events run by the Coventry University Clean Futures Catalyst programme.

Clean Futures offers this masterclass in collaboration with Sustainability West Midlands.

Want to get ahead of the game? A well-written report allows the sharing of positive changes and builds trust with stakeholders.

Regulators and other stakeholders, including suppliers, consumers, employees and investors expect their suppliers to clearly communicate their sustainability credentials. It is critically important for businesses to tell their sustainability story clearly and effectively. From attracting and retaining employees to winning business and building loyalty, effective communication on your sustainability journey can help you stand out in today’s crowded and competitive market. A good sustainability report should also inspire action – helping to achieve goals and empowering others to make a positive impact.

Please note that whilst the session will be recorded the recording will only be shared with the attendees.
