Join us in this NECC Thought Leadership event to better understand how you can manage your environmental performance.
About this Event

Adapting to, and managing change, is important for all businesses, especially when it comes to environmental performance. In the modern world, it is important to follow through your ‘words’ on your website, with practical steps to reducing your environmental impact.

During this seminar, we are exploring the national and regional significance of ‘sustainability’ - what this means for you and how you can begin to implement change towards a cleaner, greener future.

‘Doing nothing’ shouldn’t be the default option, as consumers or as businesses.

During the course of this event, we will explore sustainability measures organisations can take and how they can effectively implement them.

Members will have the benefit of insights from guest speakers, as well as a panel session in this event. Members might expect the following outputs, to help generate improved environmental outcomes.

The realities of ‘going green’

Improve business understanding of how to obtain advice, as well as understanding the policy framework in which we operate.

Inspiring narratives that highlight successful sustainability initiatives and encourage further participation.

Use data to improve and measure changes in participants’ knowledge and behaviours regarding sustainability.

What do I wear to a Chamber event: We don’t have a dress code, but we suggest dressing as if meeting new clients. Your comfort is key.

Behaviour and conduct: our events create an inclusive space for individuals and organisations to meet, where we expect all our attendees to behave with courtesy and respect, to both each other and Chamber colleagues.
