UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man’s Sustainable Mann returns this October, bringing a fresh line-up of solution-focused workshops designed to equip businesses with the tools they need to thrive.

Starting in just under a month on the 13th October and running weekly for seven weeks, the workshops cover everything you need to know about climate and nature, and the practical solutions businesses can apply. Workshop topics include:

- Risks and opportunities for your business
- Energy and efficiencies
- Unlocking nature’s value
- Circular economy and waste solutions
- Finance, governance and sustainability reporting
- Building a green brand and protecting your reputation
- Innovation and the future of work.

Businesses that attend six or more sessions will earn the UNESCO Biosphere Sustainable Mann accreditation and certificate, a trusted way to showcase your commitment to sustainability and the Isle of Man Biosphere.

Sustainable Mann 2025 has been made possible by the support of our headline sponsor Zurich Isle of Man, as well as additional sponsorship from Nedgroup Investments Isle of Man and Nicola Bowker & Co. All three have attended Sustainable Mann in previous years, and we are thrilled to have them back on board as our wonderful sponsors.

Attendees last year said:

'The Sustainable Mann sessions were incredibly informative and positive. I’m looking forward to seeing how I can incorporate what I’ve learned into my business.'
'The Sustainable Mann workshops have been an excellent way to boost our businesses knowledge and proven a great way to network with like minded individuals. Recommend!'
'I found the Sustainable Mann workshops well organised and enjoyable - well-structured but with a relaxed atmosphere. I believe the Island would benefit immensely if every workplace could attend similar courses.'

Places go very quickly, so make sure you book your spot here

We are looking forward to seeing you soon! Ta shin jeeaghyn roym lesh akin shiu dy gherrid!
