Why We’ve Joined the Association of Sustainability Practitioners (and Why It Matters for You Too)

At Conscious Entrepreneurs, we believe that business can be sustainable, values-led, and human. We also know that no one builds a regenerative future alone. That’s why we’ve joined the Association of Sustainability Practitioners (ASP)—a community committed to supporting people and organisations who are doing the deep work of making business better for people and planet.

This isn’t just a badge or another network—it’s a meaningful step forward for us as a community and for you as a member.

So, what is ASP?

The Association of Sustainability Practitioners is a UK-based network of individuals and organisations who are working to embed sustainability into every aspect of their practice. That means everything from systems thinking to conscious leadership, wellbeing to environmental impact. It’s about walking the talk—and doing it with others who care deeply about shaping a more just and regenerative world.

Joining ASP strengthens our roots.

It connects Conscious Entrepreneurs to a wider network of change-makers who are pioneering sustainable approaches in business, education, government, and community. It helps us stay informed, inspired, and aligned with the evolving language and practices of sustainability.

It also means we have access to:

Shared learning and best practices from outside our usual circles

Collaborative opportunities with like-minded professionals

A seat at the table in national and global conversations around sustainability in business

Put simply: it broadens our reach and deepens our impact.

What does it mean for you, as a CE member?

Whether you’re just starting your business or you’ve been trading for years, this partnership brings individual benefits too:

Credibility & Connection – As part of a community connected to ASP, you’re aligned with a recognised, trusted voice in sustainability. That adds weight to your purpose-led approach.

Learning & Development – ASP regularly hosts events, resources, and reflective spaces that help you grow—not just as a business owner, but as a sustainability practitioner (even if you don’t call yourself one yet).

Belonging & Support – You’ll gain access to people who understand the emotional, practical, and strategic journey of embedding values into business. These are your people.
Why this matters now

Sustainability is no longer an add-on; it’s the foundation of good business. But embedding it isn’t always straightforward—especially when you’re small, solo, or still evolving.

By joining ASP, we’re signalling something important: that we’re serious about doing better, not just saying the right things.

We’re committed to nurturing conscious entrepreneurs who are part of a wider movement—one that’s collaborative, not competitive; real, not performative; brave, not perfect.

This is just the beginning.
