Sustainable Wellbeing Business Forum
March 7 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am
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 will be launching 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 forum will 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.
It 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.

Who are Venture Zero
Venture Zero is the collaboration of Claire and Clare, who are experts in their respective fields of Environmental Sustainability and Mental Health and Wellbeing.
We are a purpose-led organisation and work cross-sector to engage businesses and communities on social and environmental issues. We believe that organisations should be aware of the synergy that exists between our mental health and wellbeing, the natural environment, the climate crisis and social inequality; and should feel equipped to know how to take action and make a difference in these areas.
We share the vision for socially and environmentally connected workplaces and provide opportunities for businesses to create more purposeful and sustainable communities in and outside their business.
