Discover the quadruple bottom line: Unlocking the future of veterinary sustainability in your practice across animals, people, planet and business. (LVS25)

This inter-active session will give practical advice on how to make meaningful changes in your practice to improve sustainability, and look at why it makes good business sense to balance the need of animal patients, people, planet and profit to grow a thriving practice. Sarah Heath (Group Sustainability Director, IVC Evidensia) and Laura Gelder-Robertson (CEO, Vet Sustain) will share a bit about the collaborative 3D installation they've curated, sponsored by MSD, giving guidance to practices of all sizes and species types on the simple changes they can make. Sarah and Laura will be joined by a panel who will share their tips and experience of embedding sustainability. There'll be quizzes and Q&A and conversation time in small groups to relate their top tips back to your world.
