The last few years have seen many changes to the way we work and interact with our colleagues. A global pandemic, a growing mental health crisis and a climate emergency are just a few issues driving that change.
As businesses move to react, trends show that stakeholders want more, they want to engage with companies that value them, their wellbeing, the planet, as well as their profits.
In response to these changes Venture Zero have created their Sustainable Wellbeing Forum.
Sustainable Wellbeing is “the connection between our individual health and wellbeing, our interactions with other members of society and with the natural environment”.
This is a bi-monthly forum where North East organisations will come together discuss business drivers within the context of current societal challenges and will consider how businesses can ensure their purpose is aligned with the need for sustainable development in order to support people, planet, and profit.
Each forum will have a different theme. They will provide you with knowledge and information regarding the interconnectivity that exists between health and wellbeing, the natural environment, and community. You will feel equipped to take action within your business, regarding the current drivers such as Corporate Social Responsibility, Environmental Social and Governance, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, BCorp and Social Value.
