Feeling like the lone voice on sustainability in your organisation? Sustainability Insights is where in-house sustainability professionals come together to swap ideas, tackle challenges, explore innovation and drive real sustainable change.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Why join the Sustainability Insights Group?
Over the past 5 years hundreds of senior sustainability professionals have taken part, contributing to and benefiting from our monthly meetings.
Terrafiniti insights and solutions
For over 25 years we’ve supported and advised some of the world’s leading companies and not for profits. In each session we’ll share insights on best practice and the things organisations typically find challenging or get wrong.
Peer Collaboration
The meetings attract international sustainability specialists from diverse sectors. They provide a unique, safe, Chatham House Rule-based setting to engage with other sustainability professionals and learn from each other.
Personal and Professional Resilience
Members tell us that taking part in meetings provides supportive connections, builds motivation and reinforces resilience. The format of combining themed content plus discussion helps enhance sustainable business knowledge and navigate ever-changing sustainability challenges.
How does the Sustainability Insights group work?
Sessions are hosted by Joss and Dominic, Terrafiniti’s founding partners. Here’s how the group works …
A Featured Theme
Each session focuses on a featured sustainability theme and often focuses on topical issues. We use our knowledge, insights and experience to prime each session.
Group Discussion
Ask us difficult questions, engage with other senior sustainability professionals, share and explore challenges and opportunities. These are meetings, not webinars.
Trust & Share
We host small groups and follow the Chatham House Rule. While ideas are shared, personal identities are not and sessions aren’t recorded
Who
The meetings are for in-house sustainability professionals working in companies and charities – so if this is you, you’re welcome to join us!
Free to attend
The only cost is your time. We just ask that you make a constructive contribution (however small) and share your ideas and feedback.
When
Meetings are held online on the second Thursday of each month at 2pm (GMT/BST) and last for 1 hour. They are followed by an additional 30 mins Q&A where we can share learnings from our work with clients.

Sustainability management – what does good look like?
Sustainability Insights Group
11 December 2025, 2pm (GMT) | 60 minutes + 30 minutes further Q&A
Build a stronger foundation for sustainability success
What makes sustainability management effective, and how can it become a driver of performance, transparency and trust?
Many organisations approach sustainability through individual projects, policies, or reporting frameworks. Yet lasting impact comes from something deeper; a coherent management approach that aligns strategy, systems, and culture around shared purpose and measurable progress.
](https://www.terrafiniti.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/What-does-good-look-like.jpg "What does good look like")
In this session, we will explore the essential components of effective sustainability management, those that turn good intentions into lasting results. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in sustainability strategy and implementation, Terrafiniti’s founding partners, Dominic and Joss, will share lessons from best practice and highlight the key elements required in a structured approach for embedding sustainability.
You’ll gain insights on:
- The core elements that underpin effective sustainability management and how they interact.
- Why fragmented or issue-led approaches often fail to deliver meaningful outcomes.
- Examples of how organisations can deliver best practice.
Join fellow senior sustainability professionals on 11 December for a reflective, practical discussion on what “good” looks like in sustainability management – and how to get there.
Insights Q&A: After the main session, Joss and Dominic will stay online for an additional 30 minutes, you can ask more questions and we can share how we have helped our clients develop their strategies and approaches.
Don’t miss this opportunity to share experience and learning and find solutions to your sustainability challenges.

What have we covered?
We've explored materiality and what that means for sustainability professionals and their businesses, engaging with people in different roles on sustainability and greenwashing in business + much, much more ...
Setting Sustainability Ambition | 13 November 2025
Understanding and defining ambition is a crucial element of sustainability strategy and management. Sustainability Ambition relates to areas and aspects where the company has a degree of choice to decide what, where and how it acts.
Sustainability and Value Creation | 16 October 2025
Recognising the full value of sustainability is now a strategic imperative. Missed opportunities can expose you to financial, legal, market, and reputational risks, but seizing them can enable innovation and future-proof your business.

Sustainable Transition | the fundamentals of good practice | 12 June 2025
Extending the theme of sustainability strategy from our May meeting, in June we focused on the topic of sustainable transition – how organisations articulate, plan and undertake the journey from where they are now to where they need to be in the future.
Building Sustainability Strategy – the most important aspects for success | 8 May 2025
If your organisation doesn’t have an up-to-date, relevant and integrated sustainability strategy then it can be open to multiple risks, but more importantly you might be missing out on valuable sustainability and business opportunities.
In May's meeting we discussed the key components of sustainable business strategy – and what’s often overlooked or missing.
Reputation management – how to manage risk by association | 10 April 2025
Reputation is widely regarded as one of the most valuable assets of an organisation – and sustainability can be an important contributor to both reputation and other dimensions of business value.
In April’s meeting, we explored different dimensions of reputational risk, how it can be affected, and how you can protect it.
ESG Backlash – what are we seeing, and what matters? | 13 March 2025
Recent months have seen some pushback against ESG / sustainability policies, with shifts in company commitments and government attitudes.
Setting Long-Term Targets for Sustainability | 13 February 2025
Setting – and importantly, declaring – long-term targets has always been a critical component of sustainability/ESG strategy and management.
These targets, typically set 5-10 years in advance, or even longer for climate commitments, allow companies to align with global frameworks such as Net Zero goals or SDGs and provide the scaffold for planning and implementation plans.
The role of sustainability professionals in preventing greenwashing | 23 January 2025
Much greenwashing is often the result of overenthusiastic or poorly informed marketeers. However, a significant amount arises from far more fundamental strategic challenges.
