Tom Locke
This will be a workshop based around growing your organisation’s revenue whilst connecting with your customer’s needs for a credible planet-first approach. As an eco-savvy business leader or brand owner, you’re likely to already be doing things the right way, but in 2022 it’s no longer enough to just operate sustainably. In order to truly demonstrate that you’re committed to being planet-friendly you also need to demand the same of those you do business with, be it partners, suppliers or contractors. This is where the idea of your Conscious Network comes into play.
Tom will talk about ‘conscious consumerism’ and how building a network can grow your impact not just on the planet but also the bottom line. He’ll show you how expectations differ across generations and demonstrate ways in which you can boost profit from customers right across the board. The workshop will finish with a Q&A session leaving you ready to grow your profit with purpose!

Kate Larsen
There are a flurry of new laws for business human rights due diligence for decent work, living wage, and anti forced labour, which mean new standards business partners expect brands to work toward. These reflect social expectations that businesses dig deeper into global supply chains to understand real conditions, and use leverage to influence step by step improvements towards equalities, cleaner production, and even helping the lowest paid out of slums.
Learn why and how businesses, even small, can take more of these new steps. With 20 years ethical trade experience, Kate Larsen will share her knowledge working with sites in China, Asia, the UK, and around the world investigating where environmental, social and labour improvements are needed.

Emerging new legislation around the world and customer expectations mean companies need to make greater environmental efforts. Often, these are in our global supply chains where so many of our things are made. This workshop is led by Kate Larsen who has worked with brands and suppliers for several years in China and Asia to help them improve not only labour, but also environmental conditions.
Join Kate to discuss what can work to help factories and other suppliers reduce air and water emissions, waste, and respect ecology. Hear about Kate’s quick win tools to monitor risk and free training programmes and tools for suppliers, as well as how your brand can take easy steps to reduce “Scope 3” supply chain carbon footprint, emissions and improve environmental stewardship.
