ACHIEVING NET ZERO PANEL SESSION
The climate crisis requires urgent action from all businesses and getting it right will allow you to recruit and retain the best employees, win new customers and comply with government reporting requirements.
In this session the Net Zero Now team brings together hospitality business leaders with a variety of perspectives on how to develop a credible climate strategy, including practical guidance on how to -
● calculate your carbon footprint
● set reduction targets
● take effective action to meet those targets and
● be certified as a climate leader.
Bring your concerns, misgivings and curiosity for what we expect will be a lively Q&A!
