Future Ready Business Network: Walk the Talk

Which sustainability standard is right for your business? Explore practical options & hear from businesses that have undergone the process.
About this Event

Breakfast. Conversation. Action.

Join us for a free morning event exploring how sustainability standards and certifications, including B Corp, Carbon Disclosure Project and other recognised frameworks, can help your business build credibility, win new work and attract and retain talent.

The One Stockport Future Ready Business Network brings together organisations looking to build smarter, stronger and more resilient businesses.

As customer expectations and procurement requirements evolve, more businesses are being asked to demonstrate their environmental and social commitments. Understanding the right certification for your organisation can help strengthen tenders, enhance your reputation and provide a clear framework for improvement.

This session will help you navigate the options available and identify what works best for your business. Hear from local organisations that have been through the process, learn from industry experts, and gain practical advice on your next steps.

The morning will feature:

• Breakfast networking with local businesses and sustainability professionals
• Expert insights from Graeme Heyes (Litmus Sustainability) and Green Economy, sharing practical guidance on sustainability standards, certifications and business benefits
• Local business panel discussion, featuring organisations that have been through the certification process
• Interactive discussion opportunities to ask questions, share experiences and explore what could work for your business
