About to join the Leaning & Sustainability session #T5S1. This is less about the waste within L&D (let’s face it there’s a lot), and more focused on how learning can help businesses become more sustainable. @Brittany_Sage_B of Kraft Heinz Company & @tessrobinsonLAS. #LT23UK

@tessrobinsonLAS opens the session with the first photo showing climate refugee region from North America. Really demonstrating the seriousness of this topic. #LTUK23

‘Your learners are concerned about climate’ @tessrobinsonLAS #LTUK23

‘Your learners are influenced by external factors’. @tessrobinsonLAS asks us to consider these personal factors ‘when designing our learning in-house’ #LTUK23

The audience overwhelmingly vote no! #T5S1 #LT23UK

Evidence that too few of us are taking this subject seriously, the conference session has very few attendees! #T5S1 #TL23UK

What’s stopping us talking about climate?
- overwhelming
- complexity
- not people focused
- too ‘woke’
- guilt
- divisive
- feels far away

Sustainability is another change topic. ‘In learning we have the opportunity to support people with changing their behaviour’ says @tessrobinsonLAS it starts with a small conversation #T5S1 #LT23UK

‘A story does what facts and statistics never can’ Daniel Taylor quoted by @tessrobinsonLAS #T5S1 #LT23UK

Mini groups from the audience sharing their climate stories with each other. We’ve heard about: 1. Engaging employees with the larger org vision of carbon neutrality. 2. Educating and having standards for supply chain. 3. From cars to bikes to make it to the office. #T5S1 #LT23UK

That 3rd story on cars to bikes saw more men take it up. Following investigation turns out hair dryers were not good enough for women to switch. Designing policies that are inclusive is fundamental.

Great stories from the audience! #T5S1 #LT23UK

@tessrobinsonLAS shares this video from Wangari Maathai

‘I am doing the best I can, and that’s all any of us can do’

@Brittany_Sage_B picks up from @tessrobinsonLAS to share @KraftHeinzCo story on driving sustainability impact. With a spotlight on procurement in a large FMCG #T5S1 #LT23UK

#T5S1 #LT23UK

‘Learning becomes a key enabler’. @Brittany_Sage_B shares the design thinking for Procurement Sustainability Capabilities Program. #T5S1 #LT23UK

Creating networks and collaboration is a key component of this Sustainability Capabilities Program #T5S1 #LT23UK

A quarter of the total procurement population wanted to join the sustainability Masters program @KraftHeinzCo. #T5S1 #LT23UK

Those who complete the Masters program would be expected to role model, mentor and share stories. Creating a springboard community. Great program overview from @Brittany_Sage_B #T5S1 #LT23UK
