Join us at our first Business Sustainability Network event, hosted by Blackpool Council, to find out how your business can be more sustainable.
The event will bring together businesses from across Blackpool to network, share learning and explore opportunities while providing expert speakers to support your organisation in taking practical steps to reduce your environmental footprint and support your business to be resilient to local risks.
By attending you will learn directly from other businesses as they share their challenges, successes and the innovative solutions they used to reduce emissions and drive sustainable growth. In addition you’ll hear about the ambitions and targets set for Blackpool and gain valuable tips on how to embark on your own journey, including step-by-step advice on setting achievable goals, identifying impactful actions, and integrating sustainability into your core business practices.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your efforts to the next level, this event offers a roadmap to make your net zero ambitions a reality.
Together, we can take meaningful steps toward a greener, more sustainable world.
