One of the things we hear regularly through Going Green Together is that environmental sustainability can end up sitting with one person. You might be really motivated to make changes, but getting colleagues, senior leaders or trustees involved can be a different story.

 

If that sounds familiar, we’d really encourage you to join our next workshop, 

Engaging Staff and Trustees in Environmental Sustainability, on Thursday 17 September.

 

We’ll start the session by looking at this from a staff team perspective, drawing on what we’ve learned through Going Green Together about engaging colleagues and building shared responsibility for environmental action. We’ll explore some practical ways to start those conversations and help sustainability become something more people across your organisation feel part of.

 

We’ll then be joined by Colette Harrison, Sector Support Manager at Community Foundation North East, who will help us take that conversation further into leadership and governance. Together, we’ll explore how environmental sustainability can become part of wider organisational conversations, from strategic priorities and decision-making to the role of trustees and boards.

 

 

For environmental sustainability to become part of how an organisation operates, it needs to move beyond the responsibility of one person and into wider conversations about priorities, strategy and decision-making.
