Why We Created the Calendar

Across the UK, thousands of organisations are navigating changing expectations around net-zero, ESG reporting, climate strategy and environmental performance. Yet many teams struggle with:

• Missing important policy updates

• Overlooking training and funding opportunities

• Relying on multiple scattered sources for events

• Not knowing which events are most relevant to their sector

• Lacking visibility of long-term sustainability timelines

The SBS Sustainable Events Calendar brings clarity to a space that is often fragmented. It consolidates everything into one reliable, easy-to-navigate resource, helping organisations stay ahead of change, engage with the right learning opportunities, and build stronger sustainability capability across their teams.
