Helping you build trust, avoid greenwashing, and tell your sustainability story with impact.
Detailed Description
The built environment sector is on the frontline of the net zero transition but communicating your sustainability efforts effectively can be complex and risky. With increasing scrutiny around green claims, how can businesses share their progress confidently and authentically?
This practical workshop is designed especially for businesses working within or alongside the built environment sector — including construction companies, builders’ merchants, architects, policy makers, and suppliers. Whether you’re just starting your sustainability journey or are already leading the way, this session will equip you with the skills and confidence to communicate your low-carbon achievements meaningfully.
