Interactive Workshops – Which will you Choose?

This isn’t a passive conference. Freskival is hands-on. You’ll take part in three expert-led workshops, diving into the real challenges and opportunities shaping the future of business.

How it Works
  • If you haven’t done Climate Fresk before, you’ll do it as your first workshop.
  • If you have already done Climate Fresk, you’ll join the Circular Economy Collage instead.
  • Then, you’ll pick two more from the remaining workshops below.
Workshop Options
Climate Fresk Logo

Gain the climate expertise your clients expect. This workshop breaks down the science, policies, and business risks of climate change—giving you the knowledge to navigate sustainability conversations with confidence. From the Paris Agreement to Net Zero strategies and the GHG Protocol, you’ll leave equipped to drive action within your firm and for your clients.

From waste to value: rethinking the way we do business. This workshop breaks down the flaws of the linear economy and explores practical circular solutions. Learn how to reduce waste, adapt business models, and help your clients navigate the shift to a regenerative economy.

Understand how biodiversity impacts business. This workshop unpacks ecosystem dynamics and the business risks of nature loss. Learn how industries depend on and impact biodiversity—and how your firm can integrate nature into its strategy.

Digital Collage Logo

Uncover the hidden footprint of digital technology. This workshop explores the environmental and resource impacts of IT infrastructure, from emissions to supply chain fragility. Discover 20 practical solutions to reduce digital impact and align technology with sustainability goals.

Designing our Sustainable Lives Workshop

Turn awareness into action. This session cuts through the noise to identify the most impactful lifestyle changes. In just half a day, explore the science behind climate, biodiversity, and resources—then focus on practical steps to create real change.

Mitigation isn’t enough—adaptation is crucial. Gain the skills to assess adaptation strategies, explore impactful case studies, and unlock the power of collective action to tackle climate risks head-on.

With all these powerful workshops, the hardest part will be choosing just two! (Complete the set at the next Freskival later in the year!)

Expert Panel: 'The New Era of Accountability in Sustainability'

The rules of corporate sustainability are changing. New regulations, investor demands, and public pressure mean accountability no longer stops at your company’s own footprint—it extends to your clients, suppliers, and entire value chain.

At Freskival 2025, top industry experts will unpack what this shift means for your business in a high-impact panel discussion.
