Sustainability doesn't have to mean higher costs or complex systems. This two hour workshop shows how improving productivity through Lean ways of working can reduce waste, lower costs and deliver real sustainability benefits at the same time.

Future-Ready Business: Gaining the Edge with Green, Lean and Digital Practices
This interactive online workshop explores how Lean productivity and sustainability are fundamentally linked — and how improving the way work flows through your business can reduce cost, waste, and environmental impact without adding unnecessary complexity.
Rather than starting with equipment upgrades or compliance, the session focuses on how simpler, better processes increase yield and throughput, reduce rework, and lower energy and resource use per unit. These productivity gains make sustainability improvements more affordable and more effective.
Delivered by Stuart Nelson, Lean and Operational Excellence specialist, and John Bosteels, Green Business Coach, the workshop combines practical insight with real-world experience. A live panel discussion with two Fingal-based businesses will share how small, practical changes delivered measurable benefits for profit, planet, and people.
The session also provides clear guidance on how to approach Green for Business supports and sustainability investment in a smarter, more strategic way — ensuring time and money are spent where they have the greatest impact.
