Introduction to Net Zero

Achieving Net Zero is an important step for the future of businesses to align with global efforts to address climate change. Businesses that embrace sustainability are likely to be better positioned for success in a rapidly changing and environmentally conscious global landscape. But what does that mean for you and your business, how can you make a positive action plan and what support is available to achieve Net Zero goals? 

Join us for our bite-sized breakfast event available for local businesses to learn how to navigate the Net Zero landscape and future-proof your business through sustainability actions. Through the Race to Zero project with Cheshire West & Chester Council Groundwork’s Sustainable Business Consultants will dive into detail of what Net Zero means for businesses, solutions and technologies available to reduce carbon emissions and what financial support is available to help. 

We look forward to seeing you there.
