How to Get Started on Your Net Zero Journey Workshop – 60 minutes

This interactive workshop is suitable for startups as well as established businesses. It encourages business owners to consider how they can get started on their net zero journey and become a more sustainable business.

Why is it important?

While working towards net zero is crucial for limiting climate change and mitigating against the physical threats of global warming, it also creates business opportunities. Increasingly, large companies are setting their own net zero targets and as part of this are putting net zero/sustainability targets into contracts and bids. Setting your own net zero targets can help you win and maintain business, and get ahead of potential government legislation.

Workshop format:

• Introduction to Heart of the City and MSDUK
• The business case
• How to measure a carbon footprint
• How to set targets and develop a plan
• Small group discussion: The challenges for SMEs in getting started with climate action
• Working groups report back
• Summary and next steps
