About the event

This workshop is split over two consecutive mornings, Tuesday 24th & 25th January, starting at 9.30 am until 1 pm.

Explore climate solutions, create a Carbon Reduction Plan, and gain Carbon Literate certification on our online course.

Specifically developed for those leading and managing SMEs, this online course will give you the knowledge and the tools to reduce your Company's impact on the environment, set Net Zero Targets and work out how to get there. We help you bring your team on board, and comply with Government policy and Corporate and Public procurement requirements.

The workshop covers the science of climate change, local and global impacts and how these affect the day-to-day operations of SMEs and influence procurement and sourcing requirements. Drawing on our experience and expertise in sustainable business model design and the Sustainable Development Goals, we’ll look at how SMEs can become sustainable, create a Carbon Reduction Plan, help create sustainable supply chains and ultimately tackle the Global Challenges we all face.
