If you’d like s to deliver this session tailored to your business, register your interest and we’ll be in touch.

We’ve created a short-format ‘hack’ session where you can bring along your live (or planned) service and our sustainability experts will review and suggest sustainable interventions in an engaging and very interactive way.
We’ll bring the sustainability strategists, analysts, designers and developers together with your team to create end-to-end recommendations. This can be done in person or online and takes 90-180 minutes depending on the complexity of the service.

I’m very passionate about what I do and keen to spread the word about digital’s impact on people and planet, and what we can do as an industry to address that.

I’m one of life’s eternally curious people and always keen to gather input and thinking from others – if you’d like to share feedback on content, debate any topics covered, would love to hear from you. If you’d like to know more about my why, please link in and send me a message!

Unlike Scopes 1 and 2, Scope 3 is extremely broad and the general view is it’s pretty overwhelming. Where do I start? How will I fund this? Will the introduction of mandatory reporting result in punitive measures?
