Sustainability Masterclass
A one-day masterclass to turn retail sustainability strategy into action—covering progress, regulation, value, supply chains, and communication.
Make your sustainability reporting strategic, efficient and impactful
This interactive one-day masterclass helps you improve how your business handles sustainability reporting. You’ll explore key regulations and frameworks, take part in collaborative working sessions, and test ideas using real business examples. The focus is on strategic value—how better reporting can drive business outcomes, not just compliance.
Led by experts from Position Green, the day blends debate, practical tools, and retail-specific case studies. You’ll learn how to navigate the complex reporting landscape, work smarter with ESG data, use digital tools and AI, and leave with a clear plan tailored to your role.
