The CIOB’s Presidential theme in 2024/25 focused on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the built environment, with President Mike Kagioglou asking our industry not only how it can increase focus on achieving these global goals for the benefit of wider society, but also to help the industry become more innovative and sustainable. But how we can translate these seemingly lofty ambitions into practical actions that organisations of all sizes and scales can implement? Or what impact can small to medium size organisations really have given their scale and limited resources?

This webinar looks at the role of SMEs in making a contribution to the global goals, covering:

• What are the UNSDGs and how do they relate to your business?
• How to decide where you should focus your efforts
• Challenges and opportunities for SMEs
• Practical actions for SMEs
• Funding sources for initiatives
• Case studies and practical examples
• The cumulative impact of SMEs
