Many sustainability professionals talk about a transition to the circular economy. But what does that look like in practice? To what extent is it different from just recycling? In this jargon-busting workshop, we’ll explore how to practically apply the ideas of circularity within your organisation. We’ll also dive into why it matters, examining what really goes on in the UK’s waste system, how different materials are made, and the supply chains that affect our resources. Kirsten Zoe Smith, Net Zero Strategist at Recorra, will guide you through: Expect plenty of visuals, real-world objects, and interactive elements - including a chance to ‘Test the Trainer'! Whether you’re new to sustainability or looking to build on what you’re already doing, this constructive session will help you decipher circularity.

Digital Carbon Footprint: Planet-Conscious IT Choices This online session for SMEs will explore how IT-related decisions, such as choosing low-carbon laptops, managing cloud services and storage, and extending device lifecycles, affect an organisation’s emissions.

Embedding Sustainability into your Supply Chain Policies This in-person session is aimed at helping SMEs integrate sustainability into their procurement policies. Participants will look at ways to identify high emission purchases and carbon “hotspots” within their supply chain and to highlight priority areas for action. The session will include guidance on engaging with suppliers, asking key environmental questions, and incorporating simple sustainability clauses into contracts. They will leave with the confidence and tools to prioritise sustainability in their procurement and to ask the right questions to allow them to favour local, ethical, or low-carbon suppliers and products.
