Cost Reduction through Sustainability
Reducing business costs can also help you to reduce your carbon footprint. Doing this will lessen your impact on the environment and the community in which you exist.
As part of the Somerset Innovation Network, our interactive, online workshop aims to give businesses the opportunity to:
- Discuss the positive actions they are already taking within their business
- Share tips and ideas with peers
- Discover ways to reduce costs through sustainability
- Explore steps they can take to reduce their impact even more
- Start creating their own sustainability plan
Our experienced Business Advisor will take you through
- Why sustainability is relevant to business
- How much carbon your business emits
- Ways to reduce energy costs
- How your business can reduce its carbon emissions
- Business opportunities and benefits from progressing to Net Zero
- Incorporating Net Zero into business operations and planning
Delegates will then be able to start creating their own sustainability plan, as well as have the opportunity to ask questions.
