Learn how reducing carbon emissions can positively impact your business and how to get started on your journey to net zero

Open to businesses in the Shropshire Council area

Join a host of like-minded business professionals for this interactive, fun and informative one-day workshop to learn why we all need to put more of a focus on sustainability and what you can do to get started.

The way we live and work emits so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that we are warming the planet and causing climate change. The impacts of which are fast becoming part of our everyday reality as we experience changing weather patterns.

But, you might be wondering what that has to do with your business, and be asking do I really need to do anything about it?

The answer is yes! And urgently. Here are some of the reasons why:

• If they haven’t already, sooner or later, your supply chain will be asking for your carbon reduction plan and if you don’t have one, you need to get one prepared.
• Customers are becoming increasingly concerned about the sustainability of products and the services they use so if you are making claims about your business you need to understand how genuine they are and avoid greenwashing at all costs.
• Government legislation requires businesses to be at net zero carbon emissions by 2050. To achieve that target, businesses will need to have done most of that work by the end this decade.
• Developing climate resilience plans means as a business you will be better placed to avoid future disruption. Better understanding of the causes and impact can help you plan your response more effectively.
• It’s a fact, sustainable businesses save money, reduce waste and improve staff engagement.
