The next session of the techUK Sustainability Strategy Forum will talk through how tech firms of different shapes and sizes can build a sustainability function in their business. The webinar will focus on what considerations need to be made, how to determine what ‘bit’ of sustainability needs most focus, how expertise is shared out among different functions, how existing teams are ‘given’ sustainability, and how to design a sustainability function that meets stakeholder, regulatory, customer and business needs. Full information is below and we hope to see you there.
