This webinar, led by experts from IfM and IfM Engage at the University of Cambridge, offers practical, action-oriented insights into ecosystem strategy

Many organisations have ambitious sustainability goals, but turning them into real, measurable improvements throughout the factory is challenging and often expensive. Sustain 8, developed at the IfM, University of Cambridge, is a structured eight-step approach to empower employees throughout the factory. It has driven improvements of 15-30% in areas such as Energy, Materials and Rework within just 12 months with no Capex.
