Module 5: Developing Your Sustainability Program – Part II: Vision and Program Plan

Summary

This lesson emphasizes the importance of developing a bold and inspiring vision statement to guide your business’s sustainability efforts. Participants explore the key components that make up a successful sustainability program plan and begin drafting their own vision and program elements. Building on previous work, this session helps businesses articulate their long-term sustainability goals and outline the structure needed to bring their vision to life.

 

This workshop was originally recorded during a live session and is now being shared as a self-paced learning resource. Please note that it is not structured as a traditional video-on-demand (VOD) module, and some examples, references, or discussions may not directly apply to your current business. We encourage you to focus on the core concepts and adapt them as needed for your specific program experience.
