During ClimateUnited Month, SIA provides ready-to-implement tools and techniques for member companies to gain immediate business value through reducing climate impact and sharing that commitment with staff and customers.
In April, SIA will focus on educating its members on bold climate solutions with virtual sessions that explore the benefits of a circular and renewal strategy, solve the sustainable packaging dilemma and how to choose your insurance plan to benefit the planet.
Weekly virtual sessions:
Thursday, April 7, 2022, 11 am MDT, Building A Circular Strategy to Reduce Your Emissions
Re-thinking the way that our gear is designed, bought, and sold – moving away from a linear lifecycle to a more circular model is a responsibility and an opportunity that our industry can’t ignore now. This innovation will not only reduce unnecessary carbon emissions and waste in our landfills, but it’ll also open new financial opportunities and bring new participants into our sports.
Join Nicole Bassett of The Renewal Workshop and Derek Sabori of The Underswell to explore some of the most innovative approaches to a circular model that can be implemented by any business of any size.
