Workshop: How to Capitalise on the Green Transition

Sustainability is not just a buzz word or a box that needs to be ticked. Being sustainable has huge potential to enhance profitability, brand reputation, and business resilience.

This workshop will examine the importance of creating sustainable business models, looking at why it’s important to do this in the early stages and how implementing sustainable practices across your business can have a positive impact on growth, customer retention, long-term competitiveness and attracting investors.

You and your teams will learn:

• What sustainability means in the entrepreneurial context
• How sustainability can influence brand identity and competitiveness
• How to leverage sustainability for business growth
• To identify potential sustainability measures in all areas of your business
