The quarterly Climate Action Business Forum, organised by Stockport Council’s Climate Action Now team, aims to support Stockport-based businesses on their journey to achieving net zero. It aims to take businesses beyond the initial stage of understanding climate change, towards actively addressing and implementing change within their organisations.
The forum is open to all businesses and sectors, creating an opportunity for those that are interested in making a difference to share best practice and to access support.
