Are you a business owner or manager looking to reduce your carbon footprint and save money at the same time? Want to accelerate your business growth or be more prepared for challenging times?

There is lots of help and support as well as events and workshops to help you build and grow your business.

Grow Through Sustainability – Friday 11 February, Hatfield 

Go greener, increase productivity and reduce costs!  

This free half-day conference aims to demonstrate how going green can make business sense. Learn what carbon neutrality and net zero really mean and find out more about the ‘roadmap to zero’ with Andrew Griffiths from Planet Mark, a certification scheme which recently featured at Cop 26 in Glasgow with their Carbon Battle Bus. Other speakers include Jo Southernwood of Eastern New Energy, a project which aims to build a stronger, local energy and low carbon economy in the region and Sophie Owen of Sky Studios on their work towards net zero.

Find out about funding streams available to help create low carbon workplaces and ask your burning questions in the Q&A with four Hertfordshire-based businesses who are leading the way towards decarbonising and a more sustainable future.

The conference, funded by Hertfordshire Health Protection Board and organised by Hertsmere Borough Council in partnership with other Hertfordshire councils, will take place at The Fielder Centre in Hatfield Business Park and includes lunch.
