About Yorkshire Sustainability Week
We are on a precipice of a green revolution, either join us or get left behind.

About Yorkshire Sustainability Week
Yorkshire Sustainability Week is designed to strengthen, inspire and expand the sustainable business community across the region.
Built to address the 17 UN sustainable goals, throughout the first week of July, a series of events will take place to increase our knowledge on how we, as business leaders, owners and decision makers, can make a difference. The festival of events will showcase the innovative projects taking place across Yorkshire and the UK, the trailblazers making progress to infrastructure and the policy makers that help change hearts and minds when it comes to climate change.
The sustainability community is still in its infancy and it’s an extremely exciting time to create an event that is purposefully built to support this community in reaching ambitious goals.
We are on a precipice of a green revolution, either join us or get left behind.

Talking the talk AND walking the walk
Let’s face it, events are usually haunted by their carbon emissions and given a bad rep because of it, regardless of the great work and collaboration they can bring. That’s why we address the elephant in the room and are committed to the below:
- We will be tracking and offsetting all of the carbon associated with YSW, to make the week carbon neutral
- Events organised by YSW will be vegan led
- We are keeping back 20% of all tickets to the core YSW events for ‘Pay it Forward’ tickets – no questions asked, if someone wants to attend and can’t afford the ticket price, they’ll be able to enter a ballot & we’ll allocate as many tickets as possible. You can register for a pay it forward ticket here.
- We’re keeping printed items to a minimum and wherever possible will use recycled products or items with a dual purpose
