Sustainability Masterclass: Developing and delivering your strategy
A practical two-day masterclass providing insights for leaders driving sustainable change.
Turn Sustainability Ambition into Retail Action
85% of UK retailers see sustainability as a business driver—but 65% have made no changes to their business model to support it (BearingPoint & BRC, 2024). The gap between ambition and delivery is clear.
In partnership with Position Green, the BRC Sustainability Masterclass: Developing and Delivering Your Strategy is a two-day, retail-focused programme designed to close that gap. You’ll get a practical roadmap for integrating sustainability across your operations—from supply chain to strategy and communication.
Led by expert facilitators, this masterclass gives you the tools to lead sustainable transformation in a commercially pressured, environmentally conscious market.

Julia and Calum were absolutely fantastic, providing a really engaging and thought provoking masterclass touching on not only theory but also facilitating great discussions among BRC members. Highly recommend!
Excellent masterclass, providing the right balance of theory and real world application led by knowledgeable and engaging facilitators. Would recommend to anyone working in a sustainability role.
An invaluable two days where I was able to refresh my knowledge in some areas, learn a whole lot more, and gain insight on how senior leaders are also approaching this topic for their own business.
Suitable for businesses on varying stages of their sustainability journey. An engaging rounded insightful course with a wealth of voices and guest speakers to gain knowledge from their experience.
