Online environmental workshops to help SMEs boost green credentials

Two online workshops have been organised to help SMEs in Greater Manchester to boost their environmental credentials.

Developing an Effective Environmental Policy

Hosted online by The Growth Company’s Business Growth Hub, the first workshop on 25th August aims to support small businesses in the city-region to write an effective environmental policy. A robust environmental policy is now a key requirement of many public sector tenders, as well as welcomed by private organisations.

This webinar, led by industry experts, will help you to write an effective environmental policy that demonstrates your environmental credentials and will help to deliver measurable results for both your business and your customers.

Registration is free and places can be booked via Eventbrite.

Creating an Environmentally Aware Workforce

The second webinar will cover how to engage with your workforce on environmental issues and motivate staff to change their behaviour.

The online workshop will take place on 8th September and attendees will take away ideas for how to engage with their workforce on environmental policies.

Registration is free and places can be booked via Eventbrite.
