♥️ Wall of Love ♥️

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Heidi and her team over several events and several years in Hong Kong. Heidi’s energy is contagious, and her expertise in the field of Sustainable Food Systems is matched by her ability to bring a group along on the journey with her; in an inclusive way that can support total newbies as much as those looking for a more advanced, detailed strategy. My team recently completed a 2 day ‘Sprint’ workshop with Future Green,  and we were very impressed by the amount of content AND strategy we managed to cover in those days; leaving the event with actionable strategy priorities that will support our next steps. Informative content was presented in an accessible engaging way, specific challenges in our particular business were raised and discussed openly and the sessions were very structured (meaning we were kept productive) while allowing flexibility in the topics to match our specific needs. I’d recommend Future Green to any company who want to explore how they can be doing things differently in a way that is (environmentally) sustainable and (operationally) sustainable for a real world 'Win-win' situation.

It's my second workshop with Future Green and one may think there might be a bit of repetition - but no, the team constantly refresh their content, keep things up to date and interesting with new activities. Engaging, informative and insightful as always.

Future Green brought a tough topic into the spotlight, with really visually engaging content and plenty of interaction. The focus is on getting into action and being part of a movement for change. 

I recently had the privilege of completing the Food Sustainability Foundations course, and I can confidently say it was a transformative experience. The course was exceptionally well-presented, providing a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of sustainable practices in the food industry.The delivery of content was not only engaging but also highly informative. The instructors addressed common misconceptions with clarity, backed by research and industry insights.Overall, the Food Sustainability Foundations course exceeded my expectations. Kudos to Heidi Yu Spurrell and her Future Green Team for their dedication to delivering a course that is both enlightening and impactful.

The Future Green Food Sustainability Foundations course is packed with useful information, and presented in a super well-organized way by Heidi (who really "knows her stuff"). It was also very helpful to participate with others in different industries/sectors. I highly recommend it!

Really useful course to understand the basics of the climate crisis and impact that the food sector is having and could have if optimised.

Heidi is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend her Food Sustainability Course. I've been in the sustainability field all my career and in food and beverage in the past 4 years, but still, I picked up so much more useful knowledge from this course. The course is very well structured and the short bite-size modules mean you can do it in the most flexible way.

Earlier this year, I was asked by yellow.global | B Corp to take part in the pilot Train-the-Trainer: Carbon Literacy for Food & Drink Businesses, offered by Heidi Spurrell, MSc, PGDip, BEM and the inspiring team at Future Green Global | B Corp. At first, I felt slightly intimidated by the prospect of diving deep into technical content and climate data, because the science stuff can often feel out of reach and confusing. Sound familiar?    Many businesses are struggling to proactively respond to the EU Green Deal despite its clear aim to create a cleaner, healthier and climate-neutral Europe, so imagine my relief and curiosity when the course started with a focus on personal values. Understanding the human/emotional side of carbon literacy is what it’s all about. This grounding shaped what I’ve learned and how I’ve felt - more empowered, connected, and ready to act.    I also loved the expert blend of live interactive online sessions, practical homework, and plenty of real-life reflection. Each session boosted my motivation to embed climate action into daily decisions, and to help others do the same. Skip a few months and that’s now become a reality! On Monday I was honoured to bring this knowledge and facilitation toolkit to life by delivering the Carbon Literacy for Food & Drink Businesses certified course to our own team at yellow.global | B Corp, making sure we lead by doing.    We’re on track to getting 8 of our team certified as Carbon Literate, alongside becoming a Carbon Literate Organisation. This commitment runs deep. Carbon Literacy for Food & Drink Businesses certified course will be the foundation to yellow.global | B Corp strategy and training services. This will ensure we’re continually striving to balance the wellbeing of people, with the wellbeing of our planet. More info and 2026 Training plans to follow soon… Thanks to Jane Birkin and our team for trusting me with this valuable training.  Emma White Katrina Thornely Prachi Wasnikar (She/Her) Laura Visini Mark Barrett Bianca Maria Lucini Alexander Wigford-Morgan #SustainableCulture #CarbonLiteracy #SustainableLeadership #CarbonEfficiency #ResilientPlanet #BeTheChange

The ultimate ignorance is the rejection of something you know nothing about and refuse to investigate. How many of us are in this position when it comes to understanding climate change and its drivers, and what levers we as individuals and being part of multi corporates can employ to play our part in enabling and delivering effective changes? You don't know what you don't know. I felt this when I started Carbon Literacy training with The Carbon Literacy Project a few months ago. It was truly an enlightening experience. There are little things we can be doing as individuals and as part of businesses to immediately reduce our carbon footprint. Let's start small and take the first step towards a better future. #ClimateChangeAwareness #CarbonFootprint #Sustainability #CarbonLiteracy #FutureGreen

Through course materials, worksheet, different toolkits, case studies and interactions, this course provides me a very informative platform to understand sustainability. It also supports with practical solutions to issues that we are facing in our business when working towards sustainability. Providing a guide to business where they can start. Thank you Heidi for all these sharing.

The more I learn about sustainability, the more I realize how dynamic this field is, constantly evolving with new data and research. Staying informed from diverse sources is key to understanding which issues truly matter and how we, as individuals, can drive meaningful impact. Recently, I completed my Carbon Literacy certification with The Carbon Literacy Project. The training deepened my awareness of the practical steps we can take to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to systemic change. A special thank you to Heidi Spurrell, MSc, PGDip, BEM and Future Green Global | B Corp for hosting my cohort and fostering such an engaging learning environment. Sustainability isn’t about having all the answers upfront—it’s about committing to learn, question, and act. #CarbonLiteracy #Sustainability #ClimateAction #LifelongLearning

As someone that knows little on sustainability, it was a great course to get a much better understanding across multiple areas of environmental and social sustainability, as well as learn how I can improve personally.

I'm very pleased to announce that I'm Carbon Literate! Often talk around carbon and climate change can be daunting and full of complicated jargon, pushing us to be ignorant and indifferent - which has no benefits to helping the problem! But thank you to Future Green Global | B Corp and The Carbon Literacy Project for breaking it down into accessible and interactive workshops that shines a new light on what individuals and companies can do to slow down the rate of climate change and reduce our carbon footprint! Every little helps and I'd strongly encourage everyone, no matter how much or little you already know, to participate, engage and take action. #CarbonLiteracy #FutureGreen #ClimateChangeAwareness #CarbonFootprint #Sustainability

Having admired the work Future Green Global has been achieving for some time, I was eager to engage first-hand, and I am happy to say that my already high expectations were exceeded. The course's clear structure, interactive approach, and personalised touch enriched my professional identity in the F&B Sustainability industry, equipping me with a comprehensive toolkit and knowledge base. The insights into how corporations have successfully navigated sustainability challenges were particularly enlightening for me. This course stands out as an invaluable resource in our climate-conscious era, proving relevant and essential for every professional field, as "every job is a climate job", and we can all make a difference.

Heidi Spurrell, MSc, PGDip, BEM is brilliant to chat to about sustainability in food and drink, she covered so many ideas that were new to me, and I learned a lot from our conversation. 🌿 🐟 🥚

Tune in this evening to learn more about her work, and the upcoming #Unconference. 9:05pm on RTHK Radio 3. 📻

The CLP training is a good way to upskill employees on sustainability nuances and concepts.

The workshop is great overall with industry sharing. Katie (Future Green) is a great facilitator! All the content shared was very meaningful.

The course was extremely useful and well rounded course for those less familiar with sustainability, certain aspects of sustainability, or sustainability's application to the food industry. As a real estate sustainability professional that often works with food industry business partners, this course enabled me to learn more about sustainability issues most relevant to food and beverage industry tenants, but more importantly, some practical actions (e.g. menu design, sourcing etc.) a food business can take to become more sustainable.

You guys are doing such a great job, keep it up! Case studies about probiotic farming are new to me and I'm glad to know more about it.

I found the course really helpful to think about additional ways we could make our food events more sustainable. Applying what was learnt, we provided a plant-forward menu for an event with only one meat option. It also allows us to consider the ways of running an event sustainably. Thanks again to Heidi Spurrell and Hanna Jepps for running a great program - it has given us a lot to think about!

Exciting News from the Green Kitchen Initiative!

Thrilled to share that our Green Kitchen Initiative has reached a significant milestone! Collaborating with Future Green Global | B Corp, we recently organized custom capacity-building workshops for our F&B tenants. These sessions aimed to deepen their understanding of emerging food sustainability issues and empower them to integrate best practices using the Green Kitchen framework into their daily operations. We were delighted to engage with over 70 F&B tenant representatives and colleagues from internal teams.

One highlight was the introduction of the "Green Kitchen Sustainable Operations Recognition Scheme." This program goes beyond initial design and fitting out, focusing on ongoing efforts to reduce waste and promote sustainable, healthy menu options among our tenants.

During the workshops, we delved into food systems, global F&B sustainability trends, and the newly developed Green Kitchen Framework. Special thanks to our guest speakers Chef Graham Long, King Mak, Sara Burns, and Tiffana K. for sharing their invaluable insights. Interactive sessions allowed F&Bs to self-assess their readiness and explore potential solutions.

Topics covered from technical subjects to operational aspects, including emerging themes like regenerative farming. The sessions culminated in a sustainable cocktail demonstration featuring local ingredients by Tell Camelia.

A big shoutout to the core team behind this successful endeavor: Phoebe Leung, Christy Leung, Matthew LAM, and our fantastic facilitators from Future Green, Heidi Spurrell, MSc, PGDip, BEM, and Katie Tang Čábelka.

#SwireProperties
#SD2030
#GreenKitchenInitiative

Identifying both the problems and solutions was the key takeaway from the workshop.

It is a fun journey for these 30 days. Thank you Heidi and her team for building this wonderful program. It is inspirational to meet the people who are in the same direction on sustainability. It is great to know how different industries work on sustainability. This course is not only about fundamental knowledge but more importantly is about sharing among the pioneers. The program is on hybrid mode which fits perfectly to me as an person working in F＆B industry. Great accomplishment for myself on finishing the course and ready to contribute to the company, society & environment!

Heidi delivered a very engaging workshop for my students who were being introduced to sustainable food systems. I was testing a new course in our SLG programme and having Heidi come and share her expertise was incredibly meaningful. Heidi did a wonderful job of facilitating the bridge between concepts and action, my students loved the experience! Thanks Heidi and keep up the impactful work.

Very inspiring – need more events like this. Really loved the variety and stimulation today.

We’re levelling up our flagship F&B tenant engagement programme, Green Kitchen Initiative, making it a platform for the industry to exchange best practices!

We’ve partnered with Future Green Global | B Corp to organise capacity building workshops in the recent months for F&B engaged 70+ F&B tenant reps and Swire Properties colleagues. The workshops discussed food systems challenges, global F&B sustainability trends and details of the “Green Kitchen” framework. They also featured guest speakers Graham Long from Swire Hotels, King Mak from Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Sara Burns from Belu and Tiffana from Hung Yat Farm; as well as interactive sessions to self-assess each F&B's "Green Kitchen" journey and zoom into potential solutions.

Many ideas were exchanged from engineering subjects like smart energy metering and heat recovery; to operational matters like food waste reduction and staff engagement; as well as procurement practices to support regenerative farming and cage free eggs.

The workshops were supported by a great many F&B brands: Hong Kong Maxim's Group, Café de Coral Holdings Limited 大家樂集團, Pret A Manger, Tai Hing, Starbucks Coffee Hong Kong, Pirata Group, Nara Thai Cuisine, Emmer, West Villa, etc.

Thank you for the core team that made it happen Alaric, Christy, Matthew; and Future Green facilitators Heidi Spurrell, MSc, PGDip, BEM and Katie Tang Čábelka !

🌍 Last week, we had an engaging workshop session with key partners focused on Green Initiatives led by Swire Properties. This collaboration is a crucial step toward scaling sustainability knowledge and enhancing our actions to drive Scope 3 disclosures. A special thank you to Heidi Spurrell, MSc, PGDip, BEM and her team! I’m excited to see how we can combine food systems and 6 key themes transformation with innovation workshops to develop actionable solutions. Kudos to the new team I met and everyone involved in making this program success! Together, we can make a real difference. 😎 #Sustainability #GreenInitiatives #Scope3 #Collaboration #Innovation

The highlight of the CLP training is the short group sessions! I learned the order of magnitudes/statistics.

A great networking and idea exchanging event to join!

The workshop includes Interactive charts & open discussions where you can speak openly and acceptingly.

I appreciate getting to know peers from diverse sectors. The event is informative, knowledgeable, and professional.

Completing the Food Sustainability Foundations Course has been a truly transformative experience for me. Having recently made a career shift into the food business, sustainability was uncharted territory. This course has helped me catch up with the latest practices, offering invaluable tips and tricks I can implement in my company and industry. Working in a seafood company, I found the module on sourcing sustainable seafood particularly practical. The seafood supplier worksheet provided essential questions to ask our suppliers, ensuring we source responsibly. I’ve also been able to guide some of our suppliers on how they can improve their practices. Additionally, as I manage some marketing for SeafoodFriday, the Greenwashing Marketing tool came at just the right time. It helped me understand how to avoid greenwashing our customers while effectively educating them about our practices. On a personal level, I gained a lot of insight into Fairtrade goods, which allows me to make more informed purchasing decisions for our daily supplies. The course also clarified what sustainability truly means, making the concept much more accessible. The quick quizzes throughout the modules were a great way to reinforce my learning and ensure I retained the key information. Since completing the course, I’ve successfully integrated sustainable practices into my company’s operations, enhancing our credibility and customer engagement. I feel far more confident communicating our sustainability initiatives, making our messaging clearer and more impactful. I would highly recommend this course to anyone in the food industry looking to deepen their understanding of sustainability and boost their professional credentials. It’s an essential resource for those eager to lead in this vital area! Liudmila Baksheeva - Marketing & Business Development at SeafoodFriday.hk

Great place to learn and meet people!

It's not my first time exploring systems thinking, but I still enjoy it because I get to do it with different people. I feel refreshed every year, gaining new knowledge and reconnecting with others.

Absolutely loved the UnConference 3.0. Can't wait to come again. Ace ace ace

Can't recommend this course enough - The Future Green Team expertly guided the course participants to learn more about climate change and carbon emissions as related to the food system. I enjoyed the practical aspects to the exercises as they allowed for an engaged teaching/learning environment for me to apply the knowledge that was being presented and the collaborative nature of the training. This meant that I learned from other participants each sharing their own experiences from a variety of sectors. Thank you Future Green!

Impressed by the diversity of stakeholders connected in the event, as well as the latest sustainable food movement.

Loved taking part in this two day interactive carbon literacy training course. Thanks to Heidi and Future Green team for helping bust many carbon assumptions specifically related to the food and drink sector. It was powerful to experience moving from climate overwhelm into a space of informed practical action - where context is key! I now feel equipped with relevant knowledge and powerful case studies to positively support our global team and our clients on their sustainability journeys. Highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to make a long-lasting impact.

Our pioneering #GreenKitchenInitiative has a new milestone! Introducing the “Green Kitchen Sustainable Operations Recognition Scheme”, a guide for our F&B tenants to reduce energy, water and waste, AND support food sustainability.

Part of our continuing efforts to make landlord-tenant partnerships a key portion of the tenancy cycle, especially when it comes to sustainability in the F&B sector, this Scheme:
· Goes beyond just initial design and fitting out;
· Places a stronger emphasis on ongoing efforts to reduce waste, as well as offer sustainable and healthy menu options;
· Drives sustainable procurement;
· And most importantly…helps tenants design and operate a “green” shop at all times;

And recently, we hosted a custom-made session for our F&B tenants to get a fuller understanding of emerging food sustainability issues and help them use the Green Kitchen framework to incorporate best practices into their daily operations.

Good experience to set up examples or training materials to middle management.

A very fun and informative day!

It was a real pleasure to work with the Future Green team, very passionate, approachable and adaptable. They animated and engaged very well the teams into collaborative thinking and learnings!

I found the course to be full of interesting information. I believe that knowledge is key to embracing change for myself and encouraging others to make changes in their lifestyles. The activities were definitely concrete and helped us remember what we learned. I particularly enjoyed the last group activity because I’m convinced that teamwork is essential for implementing sustainable initiatives in a workplace! I really appreciated the opportunity!

Really useful course to learn about climate and other environmental issues! The highlight of the training is the design thinking techniques.

Love the whole event! Interactions and the speakers.

Heidi is a very enthusiastic and dynamic leader. She leverages her expertise, passion, and dedication to effectively drive initiatives that unite people, fostering the exchange of knowledge and experiences to inspire change and implement sustainability best practices. Her workshops have resulted in a highly effective priority action map, which will serve as a cornerstone for our future policy development.

I had a real “pinch me” moment when I had the opportunity to partner with Heidi on a strategy workshop for Future Green’s “Our Food Our Future” unconference in Hong Kong earlier this year. Getting a window into her planning process for such a big event was amazing - her fabulous crew, meticulous organisation, orchestrating so many people, processes, vendors and broader network to get people ready for action on the sustainability mission… it was just superb to see her in action, and to be a part of it will always be a highlight of my career. Heidi is a brilliant facilitator and host who creates belonging in her projects. She brings research and practical tools to energise the crowd and get them both able and excited to take action. We’ve since collaborated on a second project, and I hope there are many, many more to come!

Despite the Chamber’s busy schedule, our team made it a priority to plan ahead for a fantastic 2024. Always looking ahead, our Executive Director Paul McComb 麥冠明 and Vice Chair Jeremy Sheldon met with experts at Future Green Global | B Corp for a dynamic, fast-paced workshop on how to lead effective and more innovative meetings. Using the principles of visualisation, timeboxing, and shared understanding and alignment, Paul and Jeremy discovered new ways to help them align the Chamber’s strategic goals, streamline communication, and ensure the successful implementation of the Chamber’s Committee Chairs Group in 2024.   The Chamber’s Committee Chairs Group aims to foster consensus, alignment, and collaboration among its committees. Under Jeremy’s leadership, the Group will supplement the Chamber’s existing governance structures and facilitate committee engagement in the Chamber’s overarching strategy, while enhancing communication and coordination between committees for impactful outcomes.   There is nothing but excitement for the new year ahead. Stay tuned to hear more about the Chamber has planned for 2024.   Many thanks to Heidi Spurrell, MSc, PGDip and her team at Future Green Global for facilitating a fantastic workshop. May this workshop be an invitation for further collaboration with the Chamber.   Paul McComb 麥冠明 Jeremy Sheldon Martine McKenna Hoeg Pak Yin Christy Ng Karrie Lam Silvia To Angela L.

I recently attend a team alignment workshop presented by Heidi. The workshop addressed a difficult topic in clear and engaging way, encouraging lots of team interaction. The main goal was to inspire action and get everyone involved in making a positive change. I highly recommend it.

Happy to announce that I've earned my carbon literacy certification through The Carbon Literacy Project! Thanks to Future Green Global | B Corp and Lighthouse Sustainability Ltd for delivering a very engaging and informative course, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in looking at the nexus between food and climate change for their organisation - no matter how big or small, a corporate or a charity. Let's continue taking positive steps towards a sustainable future together! 🌱

I had the opportunity to work with Heidi during a critical team alignment workshop for the British Chamber of Commerce’s Retail Committee. The committee was focused on prioritising policy recommendations to the government for the upcoming year, and Heidi played a pivotal role in helping us achieve our goals. Heidi expertly facilitated the session, in a short amount of time, guiding us through a well-organised process where all participants were able to clearly identify key challenges and collaboratively prioritise solutions. Her ability to align diverse committee members and ensure clarity throughout was impressive. The workshop culminated in a highly effective priority map of actions, which will serve as a foundation for our future policy work. Heidi’s professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to drive meaningful outcomes made a real impact. I highly recommend her for any organisation looking to achieve clarity, alignment, and strategic focus through expertly facilitated workshops.

The session was very engaging and informative. I enjoyed how it took great ideas used in different industries to inspire a different way of thinking. I definitely felt closer to my colleagues at the end of the session, with a better understanding and appreciation for them that can sometimes get lost in the day-to-day and I think we were able to put together a good set of goals between us moving forward. I would happily participate again.

The sailboat is the highlight of the workshop!

it was nice to work with Future Green again especially Ms Heidi, very professional speech, and well prepared the material and workshop exercise. It is fun and easy for students to understand, especially new generations. Seeking to work with Future Green again

Very diverse audience and knowledgeable speakers!

I worked as a facilitator with Heidi during Unconference 2.0 in 2024. It was a very well-organised and structured event. As Table Captain, I had all the tools and frameworks needed to guide my team through the innovation process. Their onboarding was thorough and practical which gave all the Table Captains the confidence to succeed and support our teams. Future Green understands how to tackle macro-level issues by collaborating with people across industries to make an impact together. That's not an easy job, but Future Green lays that foundation. If you look to improve your strategy for a more inclusive and green future, I would recommend collaborating with Future Green.

I enjoyed the myth busting info and being able to have a space to think more about people and equity and how it links strongly to climate and sustainability - how I can work on these together going forwards. The breadth of content covered and the way it helped me to think about the practical actions I am taking away is the highlight of the CLP Training.

I had the great pleasure to work with Heidi & her team to help develop an important international workshop on food security. The outputs were fantastic & I learnt so much about using every minute available during the workshop to achieve our goals.

fresh accounting have been a partner to Future Green since 2020 and we have been supporting the team through sponsorship of the monthly meet ups and various annual events, from awards to unconferences. Great to be supporting Heidi and the team and look forward to our continued collaboration.

Heidi is an inspirational leader in the charge to make our food system sustainable. She brings her expertise, passion and dedication to competently deliver initiatives that bring people together to share their knowledge and experience to effect change and to implement sustainability best practices. Heidi ensures that all she does is grounded in sound research and is well thought through to deliver effective sustainability programmes, audits, training and events, and to build networks and capacity for integrating sustainability across the value chain.

The highlight of the CLP Training is the conversations and knowledge sharing.

I recently had the pleasure of having Future Green as a client. Led by Heidi Spurrell, they are one of the leading voices in food sustainability in the region. Future Green had just obtained charity status for their charity arm - The Sustainable Food Foundation – and wanted support developing its first strategic plan. Over the course 2-day workshop, I worked closely with Heidi and her team and various external stakeholders to build, solidify, and collectively align on a mission, vision as well as short- and long-term goals of this newly established NGO arm. We subsequently developed project concepts designed to fill information gaps on sustainable diets in Hong Kong, and to raise awareness of food issues and solutions. Heidi is very knowledgeable and passionate about food sustainability, and I learnt a lot from her during the strategic planning process. She also has a strong grasp on strategy and facilitation, and I am sure that the soon-to-be-announced charity arm is well positioned to have a profound and positive impact on Hong Kong.

I feel the course is really simplified and can easily be understood by anyone in Food sector without prior technical knowledge. Highly recommended!

Well organised. Great speakers. Love the personal sharing. Real examples

Heidi is a passionate, adaptive and high-energy leader. She believes everything is possible and wills it into being. In a rather unreceptive environment, Heidi has been able to architect a movement for food system change in Hong Kong. She has built a powerful team that can identify and drive systemic change through their networks, knowledge sharing and unparalleled expertise.

Recycling doesn’t reduce carbon emissions as much as thought. Thinking about it, it makes sense due to the energy intensive process of deconstructing then reconstructing fibres. The breakout rooms and heating other peoples experiences when it comes to sustainability is the highlight of the training!

I learned about practices catalysing climate change: farming (beef and lamb) and reduction through plant based diet, transportation, the benefit of public transport to the environment.

I learned on this training that recycling doesn’t have the impact you think. Definitely recommend this course!

I appreciate the Sharing and engagement. Everyone was involved!. Can’t be better, really! Looking for more!

Great and informative sharing. Interactive learning

Concrete case studies most useful. Great to meet different people in the space, case studies from speakers were good.

Great event again this year. I appreciate the the tools used

A highly informative day. A large gathering of industry experts to talk about the issues in Hong Kong

Enjoyed the unconference a lot! Love the workshop.

Inspiring and good examples to learn from. I appreciate the meet and greet others

Lots of useful tidbits / experiences for consideration. Breadth of speakers and attendees has given lots of follow ups.

Fruitful and inspirational session with valuable sharing

Excellent networking with more time to engage with individual participants

Very well organised morning session..love the ignite talks!

The data presented was extremely useful and helped in our team workshop later. Interactive learning and knowledge building.

The Carbon Literacy Training course was very eye-opening and informative. The trainers shared a lot of relevant facts regarding food waste both locally in HK and globally, whilst also making sure the workshop was engaging and interactive. The highlight of this workshop for me was actually the group discussions regarding solutions around food waste, as people from different walks of life could share their thoughts towards a more sustainable future as a global community. The course inspired me to rethink how I consume food, and reduce my waste back at home by not overconsuming to help the health of the planet and myself. More importantly, I learnt more about composting and have found free purple food waste bins near my home now so my partner and I can bring our inedible food scraps to compost instead of sending them to landfills to rot and release methane. I highly recommend this course to anyone as it is accessible, and will make you rethink your everyday consumption even if you don't work in F&B. Play your part in cultivating healthy food consumption habits for you and the planet!

I found this Food Sustainability Foundations course to be highly informative, delivered in a lively, practical, and easy-to-understand way. Huge thanks to the team’s thorough preparation, especially Heidi’s excellent coordination and the wealth of information shared throughout. As both a food lover and sustainability advocate, I’ve learned so much more about food sustainability through this course. It’s truly a must for anyone passionate about making a positive impact through their food choices. I look forward to continuing my learning journey with the other modules offered.

The workshop helped us build a clear 2-year action plan and showed how different teams can work together to achieve sustainability goals through practical and collaborative strategies.

The interactive activities made the workshop engaging and fun, while also deepening my understanding of sustainability.

The structured format helped us cover a lot in a short time, and reminded us that sustainability isn’t a solo journey—building a strong network is essential.

The workshop gave us valuable knowledge on sustainability and resource availability, while the well-structured format showcased how collective decision-making can drive meaningful change.

The workshop helped us create a clear roadmap and set actionable goals for sustainability, with practical takeaways like improving recycling and incorporating Future 50 Foods into our menus.

The highlight of the workshop was discovering the full range of sustainable tools and seeing how they apply to our operations—plus, I learned about the 50 best foods with low greenhouse gas emissions, which was eye-opening and practical.

The CPD Sustainability training is ideal for managers that want to gain a better understanding on the subject of sustainability and offers detailed insight in to where to start and what to prioritise.

The course was a great way to expand my knowledge of climate change. It was a good mix of bringing the reality to the fore, but also balancing that with solutions and hope. Learning alongside people from different sectors and different geographies was particularly interesting. Learning how climate change is affecting others was eye opening and helped to broaden my perspective.

Completing this course has left me feeling genuinely empowered to support my organisation’s journey towards Net Zero. One of the highlights was the chance to work alongside people from a wide range of industries and backgrounds. FutureGreen did a great job of making sure everyone’s perspectives were included, which led to some really rich and engaging discussions. Now that I’ve finished the course, I’m excited to take this further by helping to train and engage others in our organisation—students, parents, and staff. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to build their understanding of sustainability and make a real difference. Hugely appreciated

Great to spend time learning and sharing ideas with people in different sectors with different perspectives and challenges. Some good takeaways to bring back to our school. Thanks

Hey Heidi, It was such a great training session. Best use of my time. I am looking for ways to integrate this in our training as well as other co-design sessions.

A really interactive workshop with lots of opportunities to participate. Heidi was a fantastic facilitator.

"I really appreciated how well-structured this course was. The modules gave me the exact tools and confidence I needed to overhaul my household waste and energy consumption habits ,put to practice at my work place ,A fantastic learning experience to live more sustainably .

Future Green's 8-hour Carbon Literacy Training was an outstanding experience for our 12 student leaders. Despite being an online course, the interactive activities were incredibly engaging, allowing our students to deeply explore the concepts of carbon literacy. They not only learned how to apply these ideas to their daily lives but also gained valuable insight into setting school policies for greater sustainability. The positive response from our students speaks volumes about the effectiveness of this program!

A great event at HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong. Some strong steps on the sustainability side from introducing HVO-powered generators in areas like the media centre and fan village, alongside better waste sorting, recycling and food waste separation on site. This kind of operational focus is where the real change happens. A big thank you to the amazing LIV Golf Events team for the way this was delivered, alongside Heidi Spurrell, MSc, PGDip, BEM and Marsha Gau for their local expertise, and Mike and the wider 54 ops team for helping make it all happen on the ground… ✌🏿

It was such a pleasure to join the March Future Green meetup at Feast, EAST Hotel yesterday. I really appreciated Jojo’s presentation from Body Nova on “Access to Nutrition and what it means for the future of F&B and hospitality.” She captured a very real shift in the market: health‑conscious guests want their concerns to be taken seriously, not treated as an afterthought. Traditionally, “dining experience” has focused on the multi‑sensory elements of eating out – food, service, atmosphere, and the overall feeling – blending tangible aspects like taste with intangibles like ambiance to create memories and social connection. Jojo added an important new tangible layer: nutrition and wellness as an integral part of that holistic experience. By giving guests clear, accessible information on what they are actually eating, Body Nova’s approach empowers them to choose dishes that are both delicious and aligned with their dietary preferences. This not only elevates the guest journey, it also helps operators stand out in a crowded market by building trust and credibility with their target customers. I see strong potential for this kind of service to gain real traction in the fine‑dining and wider hospitality world. Jojo at Body Nova, keep up the good work.

We have just become a member of this community and the meet-ups are very well organised and we were able to drive awareness for our initiatives. Keep it up, Futuregreen!

I found the course really interesting. I think it was things that I already knew, like certain things, but in isolation. And that system thinking was really interesting to me. Some of the data was shocking like how much land is used for beef and livestock, and how much food is wasted. These are things I work with in my day-to-day, but I’ve never seen them presented at such a large scale in the context of global systems thinking. It was really interesting and very useful for putting everything into perspective.

Today's meetup was AMAZING. I was nodding along happily with Shane's comments. Everything he said about popularizing plant-based dining was spot on; his stories of how people put up resistance against even trying vegetarian meals was a revealing glimpse of the issues that sustainable food advocates are up against; and the Q&A was robust and informative. An excellent use of time!

The programme provides many useful resources. It is structured in a way which is easy to follow and accommodate in a busy schedule, as the information is broken down in bite size videos. Information is provided in a structured and to-the-point way so it is focused on what is necessary. The material provided is very supportive and is easy to be implemented. I also appreciated the weekly coffee chats - Heidi does not just provide a training with many resources but is there to answer questions and support you.

Great course. Very infomative and I learned so much. Thank you Heidi.

Excellent course on food sustainability. My takeaways from this course was a new approach of farm to fork taking into consideration the impact on the environment and people. I have a better understanding now as to how i can help the organizations to have a greener approach in their food safety systems. Thank you Heidi for being part of my food sustainability journey. Kudos to all of you for putting an excellent, informative session.

❤️ Last day. And I'm actually really sad to go home. We started with yoga. 🧘‍♀️ And I have to be honest: There are some things in this world that make me happier than yoga. 😂 But I did it. Afterwards we went out into the city for a really cool outdoor workshop with many reflection questions, which will definitely come home and work on something there. Exciting format – and by the way, we discovered Lisbon and learned a lot about its history. Of course, the obligatory Pastel de Nata was not to be missed. 🇵🇹🤤 In the afternoon, a beautiful closing ritual - full of appreciation and gratitude. ❤️ And then there was a premiere that I could have done without: For the first time in my life on standby for a flight. ✈️😂 Suddenly it was time to tremble, hope and wait to see if I would get a seat on the plane at all. Emotional roller coaster ride included. And now I'm sitting here after this week and just thinking: WTF how cool was that!! So many new methods. So many ideas, special moments and above all really great PEOPLE!! Thank you Heidi Spurrell, MSc, PGDip, BEM!!!! I'm incredibly grateful for this week. ❤️ And at the same time not at all ready for it to be over. Portugal, that was really, really cool. 🇵🇹 #Facilitation #WorkshopDesign #BaustelleBusiness #Portugal #Retreat #Weiterbildung #Dankbarkeit

🌲 Day 4. Motto: FOREST. Today I'll keep it short again – the pictures will do the rest. 😄 Started with a relaxing walk in the woods. 🌿 Then we went into the last phase of our strategy process: How does a strategy actually become something that is implemented? Concrete measures instead of beautiful post-its that then gather dust on the wall. 😜 The food? I could slowly make copy-paste from the last few days: incredibly cool and matching the motto forest. 🤤 Then a facial treatment – after all, further training is exhausting. 😂 And because of course we also have to deal with Portuguese culture: Wine Tasting. 🍷 Then we made the city unsafe. I would say: intensive training day successfully completed. 😂❤️ Thank you Heidi Spurrell, MSc, PGDip, BEM!!!!!

What happens when you spend a week putting together a lot of facilitation nerds on a farm in Portugal? 🇵🇹😄 From my LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® training in Zurich, I went practically directly to Sintra, Portugal – for a week of Facilitation Retreat. And I'll take you a little bit with me this week. 😍 The principle: input in the morning, trying it out for yourself in the afternoon, moderating, experimenting and learning from each other. Day 1 – what I already take with me: ✨ The space makes so much difference. I already attach great importance to this in my own workshops – and today it was confirmed to me once again how strongly the setting influences the energy and curiosity with which you start. 👥 A wonderfully mixed group, from which I stole what felt like 138 new ideas after just one day. um... with him. 😄 🥕 Food that grows right here on the farm. 💡 And of course: new icebreakers, methods and little facilitation tricks that go directly into my method case. And I think the best sign of how much the first day gripped me: I really felt like hanging out my hammock in the evening, sitting down with my notes and going through everything again. My head was obviously not full enough. 😂 And a big thank you to Heidi Spurrell, MSc, PGDip, BEM for the organization and this absolutely awesome setup. Yesterday evening when we arrived directly at her home, today a really great group and so much love in the details – there is hardly a better way to start a retreat. ❤️ And thanks to Heather Cowap, MS, MEd, RSM for the great afternoon session and the many new inputs! Day 1 was really awesome. I'm curious to see what the next few days will bring. 🇵🇹✨ #BaustelleBusiness #Facilitation #FacilitationRetreat #Weiterbildung #LearningByDoing #LifelongLearning

This workshop featured rich content and was highly rewarding

Group discussions are very useful.

I especially love the discussion session with everyone.

1. Team members were highly engaged in the activities. 2. Learned about the application of ESG in the food category.

The use of Miro was really fun and interactive. I was super engaged. And I loved that I was anonymous so I can't put my questions up without fear. Very useful workshop learnt a lot in this short session. Do more please thank you! 😄

I deeply resonate with and am inspired by the idea of treasuring and utilizing food near its expiration date, and I will put this into practice.

Engaging workshop that provides insights into sustainable commodity sourcing. Appreicate this opportuniy to promote these ideas with our team members. The discussion was relevant and applicable to our sourcing strategy.
