Description
Ireland has committed to halving its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050 at the latest. As stated in the Climate Action Plan 2021, ‘building sustainable, low-carbon, businesses is becoming increasingly imperative, not only from a social and environmental perspective, but also from a market competitive and financial one. Business models which are sustainable and focused on decarbonisation are crucial to long-term resilience.’
So, what is your company doing to reach net zero? If you are part of, or are seeking to be a part of a larger company’s supply chain, what additional measures will you have to put in place to meet their sustainability standards and requirements?
This event, which will focus on procurement standards, particularly the requirement to have strong sustainable practices embedded in product/service delivery, is aimed at micro and small businesses who see an opportunity to develop, or enhance, a business relationship with the many larger businesses in the Mid-West.
Panel of Speakers:
Neil Cremin, CREM – Green and Lean Management Systems and Standards, will outline how businesses can evaluate the risks and opportunities posed by the challenges of Climate Change and Sustainability, often referred to as Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) principles, and build in measures to address these into their strategic planning over the next 5-10 years.
