Immediate concerns about human health and the economy are eclipsing what was on the front of our newspapers just weeks ago: the climate crisis.We understand many businesses are currently fighting to stay afloat, to keep supplies going, to look after and pay their staff. And we recognise that there are many questions to answer around how we can continue to fight climate change in these uncertain times.In this webinar we will explore how companies have built effective climate action plans, and reflect on how these plans might need to be adapted. We’ll explore the key elements of a climate action plan, from aligning your corporate mission, to cutting emissions and engaging staff and clients.Hear from two professional services firms that are taking immediate and radical action on climate change: Bates Wells, the first UK law firm to formally recognise the climate emergency and Forster Communications who has committed to becoming climate positive by 2023. We’ll also explore how service firms and organisations with smaller operational carbon footprints can inspire action through wider collaboration and relationships with clients and suppliers.For those unable to consider practical steps around climate action planning right now, the Business Declares Network will be hosting further webinars and listening spaces to support you and explore bigger questions about tackling climate change and the impact of coronavirus in the coming weeks.
