Sustainable Strategies for Solving Real Business Problems

Running a small or medium-sized business or nonprofit comes with constant pressure—tight margins, low engagement or high turnover, shifting regulations, and growing expectations from customers, employees, and investors. Many organizational leaders know they should be doing more to future-proof their operations, but don’t have the time, tools, or budget to figure out where to begin. That’s where this workshop comes in.

This session will help you understand how to tackle key operational challenges using sustainability as a strategic tool for problem-solving. Whether you’re trying to stand out in a crowded market, retain top-tier talent, reduce inefficiencies, or manage risk more effectively, we’ll show you how to take control with a clear, practical roadmap tailored to SMEs.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:​

• Leverage existing information and data to start tracking your impact 

• Determine what metrics are most important for your funders, investors, customers, clients, employees, and other stakeholders

• Address operational challenges and business goals with sustainability solutions

• Understand the building blocks of a purpose-driven workplace that boosts team engagement and retention

• Start small without sacrificing impact, using low-cost, high-reward practices you can implement right away.

Take the guesswork out of where to start and what to do next. Leave with the clarity and tools you need to lead with confidence and create meaningful, measurable change.
