Better Business presents: Building a Sustainable Business. Sustainability makes perfect business sense, as well as being the right thing to do for our planet. Positive social, environmental and economic impacts are part of any business wishing to sustain its activities, as well as ensuring resilience in times of increasing uncertainty.

Last year Bristol 24/7 launched Better Bristol, an initiative to make the city a better place for us all to live, work and enjoy. It marked the beginning of a more collaborative approach to social and environmental impact. It was the start of their own journey into carbon neutrality, which is now being assisted by the leading sustainability consultancy Planet First.

This event is a collaboration between Bristol 24/7 and The Planet Mark Start!, an ERDF and Local Authority funded sustainability programme led by Planet First. The event will help businesses build their own business case for sustainability, resulting in a sustainability plan and certification from the scheme, all in a 3 hour workshop
