From declaration to action. The ecological dimension of designing green institutions

Can a public institution positively influence the climate, biodiversity, and local communities while simultaneously fulfilling its core functions? Many organizations declare a commitment to take care about the natural environment; however, the greatest challenge lies in translating these values ​​into everyday decisions—ranging from procurement and service delivery to resource management and the cultivation of lasting relationships centered on shared environmental goals. This presentation combined with a workshop will introduce a practical tool: a business model template that incorporates an organization’s ecological responsibility, developed within the international project BaltSe@nioR 2.0. The model encourages viewing an institution through the lens of a circular economy, cross-sector collaboration, and the simultaneous creation of value for both clients and the natural environment. Participants will be provided with a set of key questions that they can use to plan and implement a "green transition" within their own organizations.

The workshop is delivered by Dr. Beata Fabisiak, representing platform partner Poznan University of Life Sciences and will be held in Polish Language.
