Green Skills Workshop for SMEs

The great news is that “Doing the right thing” for the planet and for future generations (as far as we can!) can also help drive competitive advantage for businesses by:

· attracting new customers

· cutting costs

· attracting and retaining staff

· future-proofing strategy and positioning

In this 1.5 hour workshop, you’ll be guided through 6 key areas of your business to build your sustainability plan; by documenting what you’ve achieved in the past, guided through what to do right now, and supported to prepare a plan for the future. By the end of the workshop, you’ll know the best next step to take your business forward on its sustainability journey.

The workshop will also help you discover how much you’ve already achieved – and help you gain confidence in how to tell your sustainability story, overcome the pitfalls of “greenwashing” and “greenhushing”, and connect with other businesses on a similar path to you.

Takeaways:

1. Craft your action plan & prepare a roadmap for carbon reduction

2. Gain an understanding of key terminology and trends in sustainability

3. Master storytelling to win customers & become a sustainability leader in your sector

4. Uncover hidden cost savings & reduce your environmental impact
