About this event
ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE MAKES GOOD BUSINESS SENSE!
AND NOW is the time to act!
By utilising low-carbon technologies, your business can reduce emissions, save major costs, protect the planet and improve staff morale.
At the event experts will explain how to make your business greener, increase your productivity and, yes save you costs - all the while working towards net carbon goals to increase the sustainability and competitiveness of your business.
Hertfordshire businesses will share their stories on the many benefits they've experienced by tapping into support and funding to address the climate change crisis.
You'll also get the chance to visit a range of informative stands including PlanetMark who toured the country with their Carbon Battle Bus ending the trip at COP 26 in Glasgow - showcasing the excellent work that businesses are doing to address climate change.
Nine of the Hertfordshire Local Authorities have worked in partnership to bring you this FREE event which is funded by the Health Protection Board.
So come along and get your questions answered on how making your business more sustainable can actively help to drive economic growth.
