Lean Into Going Green in Your Business

Turn sustainability into a genuine opportunity rather than a tick-box exercise, this practical, interactive workshop helps participants understand what “going green” really means for their business.

Attendees will leave with a clear view of what’s possible now, what can be achieved over time, and where the biggest short-term wins lie. Through collaborative discussion and hands-on activities, you’ll gain the tools and confidence to begin (or strengthen) your sustainability journey in a way that makes sense for your business.

In this workshop, you will:

  • Identify sustainability opportunities and understand the risks of not taking action

  • Explore how customers use their purchasing power and what that means for your business

  • Build a clear understanding of sustainability, its relevance to your operations, and common challenges

  • Learn about circularity and resource cycles

  • Estimate your carbon footprint and resource use

  • Set realistic short and long-term sustainability goals, with clear first steps for your micro-enterprise

  • Discover the support and resources available to help you reach your targets

  • Create your own sustainability statement, mapping how your business contributes to specific UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

  • Understand the UN SDGs and identify which goals are most achievable and relevant for your business

  • Learn how the LEO Green for Business programme can support your next steps
