Sustainability in tenders: A practical guide for SMEs

In this session, Ecologi's Joshua Rayner breaks down what sustainability requirements are starting to show up more regularly in tenders and bids – especially those linked to government procurement – and how your small business can get ahead of them.

He covers what's legally required today, what's likely to come next and what practical steps you can take to build credible responses without needing a sustainability team in-house.

Topics covered in this session

• Why sustainability is increasingly embedded in procurement and tendering processes

• What a compliant carbon reduction plan looks like – and what businesses often miss

• Practical steps SMEs can take to meet requirements and stand out
