The Positive Impact sessions have been central to our efforts of engaging with our supply chain

“The Positive Impact sessions have been central to our efforts of engaging with our supply chain. We are very reliant on them to help us deliver our targets and the PI sessions have given us the opportunity both to communicate what we are doing but also educate all of us in an environment where we can share challenges and ideas.

When Fiona speaks about sustainability it is immediately apparent to the audience that she speaks with authority but also empathy. Whether presenting in our internal workshops, at one of our show’s CSR symposiums or at our supplier PI sessions, by soliciting feedback, Fiona consistently presents engaging content that is applicable to that specific audience.”

- Piers Kelly, Reed Exhibitions Ltd

 

“I really enjoyed the sessions, finding them informative and refreshingly open; that’s to say not preaching to us but engaging us in the process of identifying manageable targets and helping us put them into practical, everyday use.

Working within a group of like minded individuals and organizations, has been a source of great encouragement

“Working within a group of like minded individuals and organizations, has been a source of great encouragement for Aztec Event Services to push forward with its sustainability actions. For this to be further guided by a professional facilitator, gives purpose and structure to the whole process, increasing the likelihood of success all round.”

- Mark Parker, Aztec Event Services

 

“I first heard of Positive Impact whilst gathering information on BS 8901 on the British Standards website. Standards are, by their nature, confusing and arcane but the PI workshops have helped me to understand the concept of sustainability and unravel BS 8901.

PI workshops have helped me to understand the concept of sustainability and unravel BS 8901

More importantly these workshops have helped me to understand the place of sustainability in my organisation and how best to approach achieving certification to BS 8901 for Service Graphics.

Each seminar has been perfectly paced, well balanced and informative but the real strength has been the quality of the industry experts at each session, illustrating sustainability in very diverse real world situations. As a result of this series of workshops Service Graphics will be BS 8901 compliant before the end of the year with a view to 3rd party accreditation soon afterwards.”

- Peter Clark, Service Graphics Ltd

 

I feel like I now have an understanding of the expectations to meet the standards

“The sessions have got me thinking about some of the issues that will need to be addressed as part of working sustainably and the speakers have been really interesting. Although I have not yet seen the BS 8901 standard I feel like I now have an understanding of the expectations to meet the standards and am really looking forward to getting to grips with it.”
