Green Monday: a day of sustainability-focused events

By Sally Pritchett
CEO

Discover the full line-up of Green Monday events, designed to inspire action, share insights, and drive sustainability progress.

Green Monday – the 20 January – is our antidote to the so-called ‘most depressing day of the year’. Blue Monday might focus on the post-holidays slump but we’re flipping the narrative – transforming it into a series of inspiring events dedicated to sustainability.

With workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, Green Monday is your chance to connect with like-minded professionals, share ideas, and gain practical tools to drive meaningful change.
