Sustainability Summit 2026

Join Sustains Us and Sustainable Ventures for a free half-day Sustainability Summit, bringing together businesses from across South Bank and Waterloo to look at the sustainability challenges affecting our area and, importantly, what we can do about them. 

Through talks, practical sessions and roundtable discussions, we’ll explore topics including climate resilience, greening and public realm, energy and waste – looking at both the bigger challenges facing South Bank and Waterloo and practical actions businesses can take. 

It’s also a chance to have your say. We want to hear about the challenges businesses are facing, what’s already working and where we could work together to find shared solutions. 

What to expect

The afternoon will give you a chance to:

  • Better understand the sustainability and climate challenges facing South Bank and Waterloo. 
  • Pick up practical ideas and actions to take back to your business. 
  • Hear what other local businesses are doing and share your own experiences. 
  • Meet experts, suppliers and organisations who can help. 
  • Have your say on how we can work together to make South Bank and Waterloo more sustainable and resilient. 

Who should attend

This isn’t just for sustainability experts. 

We want to hear from the people running South Bank and Waterloo businesses day to day – from business owners and managers to operations, facilities, property, hospitality, marketing and sustainability teams.
