This activity is part of the Green Careers Pathway programme.
The Sustainability Exchange is a month-long celebration of ideas, inspiration and action. Across a mix of live sessions, online events, hands‑on demos and site visits, we’ll be diving into the big themes behind our new Sustainability Strategy.
This is your chance to explore what sustainability means for Codi, spark new conversations and see real examples of change in action. Most importantly, we want to hear from you. Your ideas, insights and feedback are essential — because building a more sustainable Codi is something we can only achieve together.
Let’s get inspired, get involved and make a difference!
