Cirencester Growth Hub Sustainability Panel Business Event

Join Cirencester Growth Hub on Wednesday 6 April, 10:00 – 13:00

What does Net Zero mean for your business and what opportunities are out there for you? The Cirencester Growth Hub is inviting an inspirational panel of Sustainability Experts in to demystify Net Zero and equip you with everything you need to know to get started, including:

  • Carbon jargon busting - what Net Zero is vs Carbon Neural, Climate Negative vs Climate Positive and all those other confusing terms like Scopes of Emission and Offsetting?
  • How to measure your baseline / progress against a Net Zero target.
  • How to choose a Net Zero target that is ambitious and achievable.
  • Come up with a plan on how you'll achieve your Carbon Reductions.
