About this Event
This interactive workshop is suitable for complete startups as well as for established businesses. It encourages business owners to consider how they can get started on their net zero journey and become a more sustainable business. We'll provide top tips and practical actions you can takeaway to start your net zero journey.
Why is it important?
While working towards net zero is crucial for limiting climate change and mitigating against the physical threats of global warming, it also creates business opportunities. Increasingly large companies are setting their own net zero targets and as part of this are putting net zero/sustainability targets into contracts and bids. Setting your own net zero targets can help you win and maintain business, and get ahead of potential government legislation.
What to expect:
In this online session we’ll explore:
- Why it’s important and the business benefits of measuring your carbon footprint
- The difference between net zero and carbon neutral
- Carbon footprints and what they're made up of
- How to start the process of developing a net zero action plan.
