Trust in Sustainability Application Form
 


Before filling in this form, you should understand that you will need to make the best effort to attend all in-person sessions or send someone from your team to, in order to qualify for the pilot project.

In-person sessions will be arranged all within one week of each month in the Canopy at CISL's headquarters, the Entopia Building, in Cambridge.

There will not be more than 3 days in that week each month and it will not all be full-day sessions to ensure you still have time to manage your business.

In most months, there will be 2 days only and none in August.
We aim to provide you dates with at least 6-weeks notice.

Currently the dates in July will be:

 

  • Kick-off session (3h - morning): 10 July

  • Sustainability compass (2h - afternoon): 10 July

  • Networking reception(2h - evening): 10 July

  • Revisit the Why (3h - morning): 11 July

  • Hack day (1day): 20 July

You will make the best effort to attend all virtual sessions, and proactively engage with your mentor on a monthly basis through your 1-2-1 mentoring sessions.

All information provided in this form will be held as confidential, and will not be shared with third parties beyond CISL and the BSI without your consent.
