World Leaders are planning to attend COP 26 (the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference) in Glasgow in November this year. With the spotlight on climate change, we thought we’d focus this learning session on helping your business to identify and recognise its green potential and credentials. Do you know what they are and if not how do you figure them out?

This session is for you if you run a product or services business or perhaps you are in the creative sector.

We’d like to support you in identifying why green credentials matter. Perhaps you’re not making the most of what it is that you are doing which could be one of your USPs (unique selling points).

We’ll be looking at such things as:

• sourcing locally, responsibly and sustainably
• how to manage the impact we have on our environment and community
• ways to reduce waste
• energy usage
• purchasing decisions
• how to encourage sustainable behaviours
• healthy living

By the end of the session you’ll hopefully be much more aware of your green credentials to share with your target audience, customers or clients.

Priority will be given to participants based in Dumfries and Galloway and Scottish Borders. If you live outside the geographical area, please do book a place, but you may be placed on a waiting list should the event sell out.

This event will take place on zoom, it will not be recorded.

You will require audio and preferably video on your device to take part in the session. If you've not used Zoom before, join 15 minutes early and use the Chat facility if you need any help getting set up.

This event is provided in partnership with South of Scotland Enterprise: the new Economic and Community Development Agency for Dumfries and Galloway and Scottish Borders.
