Climate Action Workshop for Business
Event description
Gain the skills to drive climate action within your business, recognise opportunities, and learn about how taking action can benefit your business.
Keen to understand more about how your business can get started (or more involved) in taking actions for a better future?
Led by the Sustainable Business Network, this event will inform and inspire local businesses to get involved assisted by the recently launched Climate Action Toolbox for businesses. You will be equipped with a base knowledge for long-term business wins, learn ways to influence within your organisation and build confidence to implement these changes.
You’ll not only learn practical solutions but also expand your thinking, finding more opportunities where taking action can deliver benefits to your business, people and community.
You will leave with your own business mini-action plan to help you get started, with tips for taking those early steps effectively.
Every business has a role to play in reducing carbon and driving sustainability for a better future. Today is the day to begin making the inevitable change!
