Sustainability Leadership Program
Ready to start or even accelerate your sustainability journey but not quite sure where to start? That’s where we come in. If your business is looking for additional guidance or credible recognition of your efforts, our Sustainability Leadership Program might be right for you.
Sustainability Leadership offers a membership-based program for businesses looking to improve their employee engagement, brand value and profitability. As a Sustainability Leadership Program (SLP) Member, your organization is recognized as a leader in your industry. Our aim is to simplify the process for you. We do this by taking you through a series of Steps with a curated curriculum, customized toolkits, 1 on 1 guidance and access to a network of other businesses. You will connect with like-minded industry leaders and gain third-party recognition for your efforts and successes. We also have exclusive networking events, award ceremonies and collaboration opportunities.
