What we’re about
PMs, UX & UI designers, user researchers, developers, data folk — you want to craft digital products that tread lighter on people and planet… now it’s time to share your perspective!
‘Sustainability Is…’ grounds itself in informed, knowledgeable context and healthy conversation — the same recipe that keeps Product Is and Tech Built World buzzing. One concise keynote sets the tone on a less‑travelled sustainability theme before all attendees add their perspective during a second‑half, round‑table‑style discussion.
Sustainability in Tech - why bother discussing it?
- Tech now drives 1.5 – 4 % of global GHG emissions, and the curve’s still rising
- The SEC is about to make climate disclosure a board‑level KPI
- IFRS S1/S2 and the EU CSRD (EFRAG) are converging, so product‑level ESG data will soon be on show
- The GSF proves carbon‑aware code can slash software‑driven emissions.
Don’t expect standard “How to land a green job in Tech” or “Top 10 climate‑tech hacks” talks - this meetup is food for the mind and a place to meet like‑minded, future‑facing thinkers.
Who is this event for?
Anyone in tech who cares about embedding Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) thinking into products and organisations: product managers, designers, engineers, founders, DevOps, data analysts, ESG leads, students and curious outsiders alike. EVERYONE has a valuable perspective we can all learn from.
Join us to explore sustainability’s messy, fascinating edges — from individual behaviours to systems involving millions.
-------- Why we charge for tickets --------
We don’t aim to make a profit; our goal is to spark healthy, interesting conversations, meet new people and make new connections. A small charge simply covers organiser costs — Meetup.com fees, venue deposits, and the odd biodegradable name‑badge.
