The Event

Sustainability can mean many things within the business world. Net zero and sustainability are without doubt key issues for businesses, yet many still feel confused or overwhelmed by what it all means. In this 90-minute webinar, in partnership with Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, they will demystify these issues and advise Solihull businesses on the support that is available to help them on their journey to a more sustainable, net zero future. They will provide guidance on the areas of your business to focus on, including supply chains, materials, processes, and energy usage. They will also identify grants and support programmes available to help, including a free year’s subscription to the UK’s leading online sustainability platform, Zellar. Who will be presenting?
