Sustainable Business Series webinar to focus on net zero  

The Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC) flagship campaign on environmental sustainability, the Sustainable Business Series has returned this year.

This week’s webinar will be looking at Understanding Net Zero. This webinar will seek to help delegates understand the importance of achieving Net Zero and provide them with an understanding of what Net Zero involves and how other businesses are implementing Net Zero measures.

It will be held on Wednesday, 4 October from 10 to 11 am.

The campaign aims to share knowledge, best practice and guidance to enable local firms to reduce their environmental impact.

Speaking at the Understanding Net Zero webinar will be:

• Dharel Patel, Head of Environment and Sustainability (UK), National Express
• Dr. Prasanta Kumar Dey, Professor of Operations Management, Aston Business School

Delegates should attend this webinar to:

• Understand the importance of Net Zero and setting targets.
• Understand the steps businesses should take in setting targets.
• Understand how other businesses have implemented Net Zero initiatives within their organisation.

Kuran Singh (pictured), policy advisor at GBCC commented: “We are very much looking forward to delivering this webinar, looking at Understanding Net Zero.

“In our Net Zero and Sustainability: Business Insights report, its noted that knowledge and understanding is one of 3 major barriers identified by businesses, preventing them from achieving Net Zero.

"The campaign this year seeks to address this barrier, providing businesses with expert advice, guidance and support, whether they are just beginning their journey or already actively reducing their environmental impact.

“This webinar is one of a number of events and webinars lined up, exploring best practice across a range of topics. I’d like to particularly thank our headline sponsors for their support in making this possible.

The Sustainable Business Series 2023 is sponsored by University College Birmingham and Lloyds Bank.
