31: What Does a Sustainability Manager Do? | Business of Sustainability Bitesize | FuturePlus

Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes at a sustainability management business?

Sam Sweeney, Sustainability Manager at FuturePlus, walks through what a typical day looks like, from delivering waste workshops to client meetings, navigating legislation changes, and helping businesses prepare for supply chain requirements they didn't see coming.

We discuss:

→ How advisory support works through the FuturePlus platform
→ Why supply chain pressure is forcing smaller companies to act faster
→ The difference between sustainability advice and accountability
→ How the team shares expertise across 30+ sectors and 17 countries

If you're working in sustainability, managing ESG requirements, or just curious about what actually goes into sustainability management, this is a practical look at the work that helps businesses measure, improve, and report their impact.
