AGS Sustainability Charter Workshop for Smaller Organisations: Turning Commitments into Action

Join the AGS for a 90-minute online workshop exploring the AGS Sustainability Charter and how smaller organisations within the AGS membership can embed sustainable practices within their operations. The workshop will provide guidance specifically focused on developing relevant sustainability targets for smaller organisations, concluding with the company signing up to the AGS Sustainability Charter.

Taking place on Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 23rd September 2026 at 11am, the session will be led by Sustainability Working Group Chair, Alison Nicholson (Geoenvironmental Team Lead, Associate Director at Buro Happold), Natalie Cropp (Director (Sustainability) at Tony Gee) and Sam Setchell (Principal Engineering Geologist at Jackson Geo Services) and will consider the crucial role that the geotechnical and geoenvironmental industries play in shaping a sustainable future, and how members can put sustainability principles into practice.

Recognising the diverse nature of AGS membership, this workshop will highlight the importance of setting sustainability targets that are ambitious, practical and tailored to the unique capabilities and challenges faced by different organisations. It will also explore how the Charter supports existing sustainability commitments and legal obligations, while encouraging members to take actionable steps towards advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals across environmental, social and economic dimensions. This session will be specifically focused on smaller companies and sign-up as an organisation rather than a geotechnical/geoenvironmental team within a larger company.

Attendees are encouraged to bring any relevant information available to support the workshop activities, such as carbon-related metrics, team or company goals, and sustainability case studies. The session will include an introductory presentation, after which participants will move into one of three tailored breakout groups of similar organisations based on attendees (e.g. contractors, designers/consultants, and laboratories). Each group will discuss appropriate sustainability targets for their organisation and will be provided support to complete the AGS Sustainability Charter sign up form.  After the workshop, attendees will then have a two-week period to review and refine their targets before confirming their commitment. After signing up as an organisation, you will receive a badge, ‘AGS Sustainability Charter Signatory’ to display on your website and social media.

This workshop is free of charge. Places are limited and will be offered on a first come, first served basis. Registration will close on 16th September 2026.

If you are from a smaller organisation (up to 50 specialists) and would like to register for the workshop, please email ags@ags.org.uk with your name and the breakout group you consider most relevant to your organisation e.g. contractor, designer/consultant, or laboratory.
