Sustainability-Professionals-Resilience-Group-SPRG

Why join the Sustainability Professionals Resilience Group?

By becoming part of our online business sustainability community you’ll have the opportunity to meet with other senior sustainability professionals across the corporate and NFP/NGO sectors – once every month, for an hour per session.

If you sometimes feel like an isolated voice in your organisation, or if you’d value other perspectives on the challenges you face, SPRG is a welcoming community that will offer you:

  • A mutually supportive collective of sustainability professionals in similar roles
  • The chance to focus on the future and achieve your ambitions
  • A platform to engage, connect and collaborate with experts from across the world
  • A creative community where you can discuss and share challenges and ideas
  • The support needed to increase personal and professional resilience
  • The motivation to maintain and increase momentum

How does the professional sustainability group work?

An unparalleled opportunity to meet with business sustainability professionals from a breadth of sectors, locations and organisational roles, SPRG works to broaden perspectives and provide community members with insight from other dedicated experts across the globe.

Combining conceptual thought-leadership with practical and pragmatic solutions and applications, the only agenda is open dialogue and sustainability. Here’s how our business sustainability group works…

A Featured Theme

Each session focuses on a featured sustainability theme, often with a guest contributor sharing an interesting, valuable and stimulating viewpoint.

Group Discussion

Meet other senior sustainability professionals, ask each other questions, share and explore challenges and opportunities.

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

Our SPRG meetings are for sustainability professionals working in companies and charities – so if this is you, please join us !

Free to attend

The only cost is your time. We just ask that you make a constructive contribution and share your ideas and feedback.

When

SPRG meetings are held online on the second Thursday of each month at 2pm (GMT/BST) and last for 1 hour.

SPRG NEXT SESSION | Sustainable Transition | the fundamentals of good practice

Thursday 12th June 2025 | 2-3pm (BST)
60 minutes + 30 minutes further Q&A

Extending the theme of sustainability strategy from our May meeting, in June we will be focusing 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.

A key element to transition strategies, whether they focus on achieving net zero goals, or wider sustainable business transformation, is that they may require significant changes to business as usual.

In some areas, this might mean changing activities the organisation undertakes, because there aren’t ways of doing the same things with radically different impacts.

In this session, we’ll be looking at what good practice should look like and highlighting what companies are saying and doing in reality, and including:

  • What sustainable transition means.
  • How best practice currently defines and guides transitions.
  • Highlighting some of the fundamental challenges and hard questions that need to be tackled.

Speakers: Joss and Dominic, Terrafiniti’s founding partners.

Sustainability strategy is one of our core areas of expertise, and we will share some of the most valuable insights we have learned over the last 20 years in helping businesses and non-profits pursue their objectives.

Our live meetings also provide opportunities to gain insights from other participants – sustainability experts from various sectors.

Insights Q&A: after the main session, Joss and Dominic will stay online for an additional 30 minutes where we can share how we have helped our clients develop their strategies and approaches

Don’t miss this opportunity to share experiences and learning and find solutions to your sustainability challenges.

Building Sustainability Strategy – the most important aspects for success | 8th 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 | 10th 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.

Recent months have seen some push back against ESG / sustainability policies, with shifts in company commitments and government attitudes.

Setting Long-Term Targets for Sustainability | 13th 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 | 23rd 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.

Solving Sustainable Business Challenges | 14th November 2024

Navigating the ever-evolving landscape of sustainability can be challenging. With economic uncertainties, global political shifts, and some resistance to ESG initiatives, staying ahead is more crucial than ever. Regulatory demands like CSRD are also increasing, consuming significant time and resources.

In this special interactive session we:

  • Identified and discussed the pressing challenges faced by professionals and organisations.
  • Explored practical solutions and strategies to overcome these obstacles.

Sustainability and Business Value | 10th October 2024

In recent years, the adoption of sustainability and ESG approaches has become more widespread. However, much of this activity remains superficial, with many targets and KPIs focused on activity indicators rather than actual performance. Over the past 25+ years of advising companies, we have consistently encountered the challenge of integrating sustainability into strategic relevance.
