We are bringing together members and external speakers for our Mainstreaming Sustainability mini conference – some of you were due to attend this event last year, before Covid intervened and unfortunately, we had to postpone.  While we believe that the best debates are held in an informal environment – short speeches, panel conversations, audience challenges - the discussion will be highly topical, focusing on three important themes:

• Levelling Up – we await final confirmation on our keynote speaker
• Clean Growth – what is your understanding of Clean Growth for the UK, how do we deliver it to go Beyond Net Zero?
• Sustainable Homes, Sustainable Commercial – where next for sites and processes?

We will also hear from Future-Fit Business, one of UKBCSD’s partner organisations, on its new metric for measuring and applying the SDGs to business

In the evening we will host a dinner, when the conversation will continue, as will the networking.
