Good Business Charter Coffee Break and Roundtable
2025-05-06 11:00 - 12:00 (Europe/London) | Zoom
Join us on the first Tuesday of the month to connect with others and engage in meaningful conversation about how we can utilise the Good Business Charter to facilitate responsible business growth and drive the movement forward.
11 – 11:20 am, Coffee Break
Join us from 11:00 to 11:20 for a coffee break to get to know other members of the good business community.
11:20am – 12pm, Good Business Roundtable
The Good Business Charter is a powerful framework that aligns business growth with values that prioritise people and the planet. Each month we’ll explore practical ways to leverage your GBC accreditation to enhance your impact, unlock growth and be at the forefront of the Good Business movement.
Upcoming Roundtable (Tuesday 6th May): tackling scope 3 emissions
Join us on 6th May to discuss tackling your Scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions – those coming from our supply chains and other external activities can make up the largest portion of a company’s carbon footprint. These emissions are notoriously difficult to measure and control, yet they present a significant opportunity for us to make the biggest impact.
This is an opportunity to discuss solutions and share resources.
Join the conversation

What barriers are you facing when measuring, tracking or engaging suppliers on Scope 3 emissions?
What steps (if any) have you taken to reduce your organisation’s Scope 3 emissions?
What strategies or tools have been most effective for your organisation in tracking Scope 3 emissions and engaging your supply chain?

Don’t worry if you’ve yet to take action—together, we can explore how to start making progress and work towards a fairer and more sustainable society.
