Join webinar chair, Alison Nicholson (Geoenvironmental Associate Director, Buro Happold) and our expert speakers as they share practical steps for AGS members to embed sustainable practices into their work and operations.   This webinar is aimed at all AGS members including those who want to influence their company sustainability policy.

The webinar will also launch the AGS Sustainability Charter, a framework for members to embed sustainable practices into their operations, while respecting and complementing existing commitments made under other sustainability initiatives. By joining this Charter, AGS members pledge to take practical, relevant, and achievable steps towards advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  This will enable all AGS members, regardless of size or focus, to contribute meaningfully to the collective goal of a more sustainable industry. Through these efforts, AGS members will not only reduce the negative impact they have on the environment but also lead by example, driving positive change throughout the industry and beyond.

N.B. Please note that while our webinar speakers are experts in their fields, they are not professional presenters by trade. As a result, they may not always exhibit the speaking confidence of professional presenters, and their slides might not be as refined.
