Help to Transform your Business towards Net Zero – A Guide to Carbon Footprint Measurement
Making a Start
How can you take meaningful action on climate change as a local enterprise based here in Devon?
Join the Low Carbon Devon team for a series of interactive and informative carbon footprinting workshops enabling you to put theory into action and help make net-zero a reality.
Turn Ambition into Action
Calculating your carbon emissions is an essential part of tackling the climate emergency, enabling you to understand where you are and how you can improve.
This workshop series will transform your ambition into action and walk you through the process of calculating carbon emissions.
You will leave these workshops with an actual measurement of your organisation’s carbon emissions, which you can use to identify areas of improvement and proactively take positive action.
You will need to attend all four workshops (in person or online) to get the full information to guide you through the carbon footprinting process and make sure that it is as beneficial to your business as possible.
