About Green-PO

Green-PO offers three key resources: - Green PO Kick-Start Course: A 4-week, 100% online, instructor-led course, cohort-based course, focused on integrating sustainability into product management through live modules, peer learning, and community engagement. - Events & Workshops: Green PO members speak at various events from covering topics like Green Product Management, Responsible AI, Biodiversity, and Circular Product Design. They also host regular online Meetups called Sustainable Products Meetup. - Learning Hub: A growing resource offering key sustainability concepts, tools, and past event presentations for product professionals, with opportunities to contribute. USING PRODUCT POWER FOR AN ECO-CONSCIOUS WORLD Product Owners and Product Managers are essential in the journey of building more sustainable products, services and solutions. While POs don’t need to be experts in sustainability, they need to understand the fundamentals, the implications for their role and the product they own. Product Owners have most of the capacities already. We know how to balance needs of customers, stakeholders and business interest. We want to shape the world. We are curious and eager the learn. We are generalists and have the bigger picture in mind. Adding Sustainability to Product Ownership and Product Development creates a Super Power. Green POs build more sustainable products. Green POs add more purpose to the team. Green POs accelerate the sustainable transformation of an organization. About Green PO is an initiative by Patrick Hypscher, Scott Seivwright and Joanna Masraff. We want to connect the agile product and the sustainability community to accelerate change and help individuals enhance their personal impact. We started in autumn 2023 using the resources, skills, networks, legal entities we already have. We have a vision of a decentralized organization in common interest. We ship small responsible increments towards that goal. Our events are online, offline, and hybrid. We start in Scotland and Germany and our aim is to build a global network of Green PO Facilitators. Collectively we can accerlate the transformation, increase the impact and achieve our mission: To turn every PO in to a Green PO.
