Saving Sustainability (business event)

How can we keep up momentum in the face of scepticism, de-escalation and political instability?

Sustainability has slipped down the priority list for many small and medium sized businesses. Government row-back on sustainability goals and spiralling costs are just two reasons for this.

So for this Ethical Reading Sustainability Champions Forum, the focus will be on how to keep up the drive towards sustainability and why it still makes sense.

Rokas Vaicekavicius from NatWest's sustainability team will share some of the tools the bank has on offer to help small and medium businesses with their sustainability efforts.

He will then join local sustainability champions with diverse perspectives on the issue for a panel discussion, before we open the conversation up to the floor.

We’ll end with informal networking so you can make and strengthen connections with fellow sustainability champions.

Your free ticket includes a pint or soft drink and plant-based nibbles to enjoy during the event.

Note: The event is primarily aimed at members of Ethical Reading Sustainability Champions. If you’re not currently a member, please do apply to join.

**Remember to book your free ticket via Ethical Reading's registration page**
