Demystifying Net Zero for Businesses

The Event

What does Net Zero actually mean? And not in technical terms, but what does it mean for you and your business?

If you are asking these questions, come and hear from Sustainability West Midlands (SWM), your local independent advisor on sustainability. Using the Net Zero Pledge Toolkit, available to organisations signed up to the WMCA’s West Midlands Net Zero Business Pledge, SWM will be going through what Net Zero means for businesses and reasons to start looking at and reducing your own carbon emissions, from cost savings to promotion to business continuity and legislation.

We want you to go away from this event with a better understanding of why Net Zero matters to you, insight into the support available to you in the region to start or progress your own Net Zero journey, and connections with like-minded businesses so you can support and learn from each other.
