CDE Carbon Smart - Carbon Awareness for Social Care – Live Online Session

Reducing costs. Strengthening services. Supporting the planet.

Event Overview

Social care services are under increasing financial pressure. Rising energy costs, staffing challenges and tight margins mean every operational decision matters.

This practical live session explores how reducing carbon emissions can also reduce running costs, improve care quality and strengthen organisational resilience.

Designed specifically for social care providers, this is not a policy-heavy or technical session. It focuses on realistic, achievable actions that can make a measurable difference.
