Welcome!

Congratulations and a warm welcome to the inaugural SDG Impact Reporting Workshop Series! You are one of only 10 businesses selected from across Washington for this special program, and we are thrilled to have you on board.

Your business was chosen because you are already a leader in creating positive social and environmental change. We see the incredible work you are doing—from championing the circular economy to empowering artisans and building resilient local communities.

Over the next five weeks, our goal is to provide you with the specific tools, language, and frameworks to translate the good you do into a powerful and credible impact story. We want to help you measure what matters, communicate your purpose effectively, and connect with customers and stakeholders on a deeper level.

You will be learning alongside a remarkable group of peers, and we are confident that the connections you make here will be as valuable as the course content itself.

We are incredibly excited to begin this journey with you.

What you’ll gain

This program is designed to be practical, efficient, and high-impact. Over five sessions, you will gain the skills and resources to:

Identify Your Core SDGs: Pinpoint the 3-4 UN SDG most authentic and material to your business operations and mission.
Develop Simple Metrics: Learn how to create SME-friendly metrics to track your impact without needing a dedicated sustainability department.
Create a Compelling Impact Story: Move beyond data points to build an authentic narrative that resonates deeply with your customers.
Build a Concise Impact Report: Use our practical templates to produce a professional, shareable report that showcases your commitment.
Join a Peer Network: Connect with a curated network of Washington-based leaders who are also navigating the path of purpose-driven business.

How it works

- What: Before each live session, you will access a module on our e-learning platform containing short videos, brief readings, and worksheets.
- Why: This allows you to learn the core concepts at your own pace. Completing this beforehand is essential for getting the most out of our live time together.
- What: Our weekly one-hour virtual sessions are not lectures. They are interactive workshops for breakout discussions, peer-to-peer feedback, and direct Q&A with me.
- Why: This is where the learning comes to life. You’ll apply the concepts from the e-learning modules, troubleshoot challenges, and gain insights from your fellow business leaders.

This course is designed to fit your busy schedule. Learn the essentials through self-guided modules, then connect with peers to deepen your learning.
