Learn how to measure your carbon footprint and start your net zero journey with practical tips and tools in our expert-led online Lunch and Learn.
Doing business sustainably is crucial for everyone’s future. Measuring your carbon footprint and working towards net zero will become essential as larger businesses increasingly review their supply chains and select suppliers who can demonstrate tangible progress in reducing carbon emissions. This can be daunting for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that lack extensive teams and budgets. At Heart of the City, we specialise in demystifying the world of net zero and carbon footprints, so you can feel empowered to take practical action to make sustainable changes that benefit both your business and the planet.
What to expect:
In this online session we’ll explore:
- The difference between net zero and carbon neutral
- Carbon footprints and what they’re made up of
- Why it’s important and the business benefits of measuring your carbon footprint
- Carbon data and emissions factors
- Different carbon calculators available and what that means for businesses collecting data
You’ll leave feeling empowered, with practical actions that you can either implement straight away, or use to further develop your business’s journey to net zero.
Agenda:
- Heart of the City introduction (5 minutes)
- Presentation from Katie Rogers, Climate Programme Officer, Heart of the City (25 minutes)
