The Sustainability Strategy Forum is a platform for members to engage in higher-level discussions about key aspects of digital sustainability. Participants can openly share success stories, pain points, and give each other feedback.

Objectives and purpose

The Sustainability Strategy Forum aims to drive innovation and collaboration in digital sustainability. By exploring diverse topics, from improving technological sustainability to navigating procurement challenges, our objective is to collectively enhance industry practices. We encourage members to actively participate in discussions, sharing not only successes but also challenges faced in their sustainability strategies. Through this open exchange, the group strives to inspire solutions and best practices for a more sustainable digital future.

Who is it for?

Open to all techUK members, the Forum invites those who are committed to both giving and receiving insights. It operates under the Chatham House rule, fostering an environment where companies can openly share success stories, address pain points, and provide constructive feedback.

Format and meeting frequency

Meetings occur quarterly, with each session lasting 1.5 hours. Each meeting selects a topic for the next session, offering members the opportunity to volunteer and share their strategies. These volunteers, chosen on a first-come, first-serve basis, present their approaches, outlining both the advantages and challenges they have encountered. This format ensures a dynamic and participatory environment, fostering collaborative growth among techUK members committed to advancing digital sustainability.
