Shannon Chamber is delighted to host this first and LAUNCH event of Sustainability Week 2025.
Now in its third year, Sustainability Week continues to showcase the drive and innovation of organisations across the Mid-West region. Organised by the Chamber’s Mid-West Sustainability Network, the week features a dynamic programme of in-person events, virtual sessions, and site tours — all designed to highlight the practical steps businesses are taking toward a more sustainable future.
The week kicks off with a high-impact Launch Event, where local companies will share real-world insights into their sustainability journeys. This year’s keynote speakers include representatives from Zimmer Biomet, The Shannon Airport Group, and Ei Electronics, who will present inspiring case studies on how sustainable practices are delivering results — from carbon reduction to business growth.
Join us for a lively and inspiring start to a week where sustainability is front and centre.
Sustainability Week 2025 is a flagship initiative aimed at positioning Shannon and the Mid-West region as a model of leadership in sustainable development and climate action.
This event is kindly hosted by member company Ei Electronics and is Free of Charge.
