Sustainability ROX will be held around the UK in March and April in 2024 and will feature sector-specific events across sustainable design, sustainable transport, energy solutions, sustainable sport, and marine and oceanography enterprise.
The ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) festival will host a range of networking and collaboration opportunities, as well as strategic workshops with industry leading practitioners to help businesses, refine, update and empower colleague communities with their ESG strategic goals.

The Leicester campus event takes place on 05 March 2024 and will present ideas, solutions and practical steps to help all types of businesses move forward for green growth.
Platform owner Holland Alexander’s Managing Director Louise Holland said; “We believe that Sustainability ROX will cultivate powerful communities to come together across various industry sectors and share their takes on the latest sustainability trends and connect with like-minded individuals and organisations,” said Louise. “Alongside our first partner major event to be announced, Sustainable Design at DMU, we are committed to helping businesses in the UK reach their green goals and create a sustainable future for all.”
As a leading university in the top 50 of universities in the world for sustainability, De Montfort University is proud of its status as a Global Hub for the United Nations Sustainable Development goals. Sustainable Design is a core focus at De Montfort University including the new Fashion and Textiles Business Hub which showcases the university’s skills in textile testing, sustainable fashion and digital design.
Professor Christine White, Deputy Dean of DMU, said: “We have a wealth of sustainable design industry experience here at DMU which we are keen to share with companies.
“All companies are facing huge challenges with net zero emissions targets, supply chains, the need to minimise extraction of raw materials and reducing the amount of materials sent to landfill.”
“Responsible sourcing, adoptions of new technologies and how to produce fibres from materials that do not damage the planet, greenwashing, new product design – we’re here to help whether through innovation projects, consultancy or working with our students. Our Sustainable Design event at Sustainability ROX on the 5th March 2023, will present ideas, solutions and practical steps to help all types of businesses move forward for green growth.”
