Making Sustainability Work: Practical Strategies for Businesses - 11 May 2026

The Event

The Birmingham Institute for Sustainability and Climate Action (BISCA), in partnership with Nature Positive, invites you to join us for a business-focused morning, that will bring together businesses to explore practical sustainability challenges and opportunities across climate, nature and social impact. 

Designed for senior leaders and sustainability professionals, this session will examine how organisations can embed credible, resilient sustainability strategies in a complex economic and political landscape. 

BISCA are pleased to welcome Tom Mason, Associate Director at Nature Positive, as our keynote speaker. Tom leads risk and strategic sustainability advisory across the UK, Europe, North America and Southeast Asia. Tom will explore why sustainability now sits at the heart of business strategy, addressing evolving expectations across climate, nature and human rights, and outlining how organisations can manage risk and opportunity across operations and supply chains to build resilience, competitive advantage and positive impact. 

Participants will then join facilitated roundtable discussions focused on what it truly takes to make sustainability work in practice, exploring how organisations embed sustainability into strategy and turn complex challenges into credible, future-facing action. 

The morning will conclude with a brief plenary reflection and time for networking. Further details will be shared with registered participants closer to the date.
