Net Zero 360: Brighton

Sustainability is great for business – it can help you win contracts, cut costs, and attract customers.

But how do you create a sustainability strategy that has maximum impact, when everyone has an opinion on what works and what doesn’t?

This FREE workshop will show you how.

You’ll cover:

• What net zero means for business,
• The most impactful actions you can take
• How to measure your footprint
• How to create a carbon reduction plan

Delivered over one day in person, the morning session will cover all the basics and get you up to speed, before you stop for lunch and have time to network with fellow businesses. Then on to the afternoon’s more practical hands-on session, with plenty of time for questions and discussions.

You’ll come away with all you need to build your unique business net zero plan and a thorough grounding in how to measure your carbon footprint, including free access to the Clean Growth UK business carbon calculator.
