Sustainability professionals understand that culture work is a long term exercise - we're committed for the long haul. And, sustaining a culture of sustainability presents unique challenges and opportunities. Drawing from practical experiences and the example of sustainable business pioneer, Interface Inc., this session will address the complexities and rewards that come with sustaining a culture of sustainability for the long haul as well as examine the implications for engagement and culture in the context of increasing hybrid work environments.

Join us on Monday December 11th for a hybrid, interactive and professional workshop led by our expert speaker - you can join in-person or online, and we encourage both options!
