An incredible opportunity to connect the dots across sustainability Of course we know how useful and informative #Freskival is going to be, but don’t just take my word for it.  Caroline Bates, Partner, Citizen Good attended Freskival 2024 and LOVED it! Here’s what she says… "Freskival is a dynamic, interactive, and thought-provoking way to explore a wide range of sustainability topics. With an amazing line-up of workshops to choose from, there’s something to suit everyone from the seasoned facilitator to those brand new to these workshops. As a Climate Fresk facilitator, I loved experiencing new sessions like the Circular Economy Collage and engaging with inspiring participants who brought these topics to life.

Should Professional Services firms be responsible for the impact of their services? The Critical Debate at Freskival 2025 How should the impact of services, using emissions as a starting position, be assessed? Who should be accountable and how should that accountability be encouraged or enforced? What does it mean for firms’ strategy, operations, and culture? At Freskival 2025, an unparalleled panel of experts will discuss what professional services should do in this area to best contribute to the escalating climate, ecological and social crises. Facilitating: Sam Baker - Director of Business Declares and former Deloitte strategy partner, has spent decades advising businesses on systemic transformation. Now leading a movement for corporate climate action, he will facilitate the discussion, drawing out the biggest challenges—and the boldest solutions. Bringing together insights from across science, policy, advertising, and journalism: Alexis McGivern, a leading force in net zero governance, works at Oxford Net Zero, translating cutting-edge climate research into real-world strategies for corporations and policymakers. A key figure in defining what “high integrity” net zero looks like, she is shaping global standards on corporate climate accountability. Stephen Woodford, CEO of the Advertising Association UK, is a leading voice on advertising’s responsibility in a net zero economy. Representing an industry that both shapes consumer demand and drives business growth, he brings first-hand knowledge of how professional services firms must reconcile commercial success with climate accountability. Jonathan Wise, a former ad industry strategist turned radical change-maker, left a career working with brands like Shell and Diageo after recognising advertising’s role in driving unsustainable consumption.
