Join us on Tuesday 3 August as we talk to experts from NTU and Nottingham City Council about the ways in which local businesses can reduce their carbon footprint.
Work EventsThis event will overview how NTU can support Nottingham businesses to reduce their carbon emissions. In particular this forum invites businesses based in Sneinton Market and the Creative Quarter to work together with NTU to progress towards net carbon zero. NTU can provide expertise to assess current practice and identify SMART carbon reduction activity relating to business processes, premises management and product design. Businesses can also find out about financial support to take forward carbon reduction actions.
