Why sustainability matters to your business

In this session, our panellists explore the benefits to running or starting up a more sustainable business, and outline what support is available to help.

What to expect from this webinar

Since COP26 and in the months before the climate change conference, business owners have been encouraged to think about how they can make their businesses and operations more sustainable and help achieve net zero targets. However, this can seem a daunting task. Our panel of experts are on hand to help identify what practical measures can be introduced to make businesses more sustainable, as well as the benefits to the bottom line.

It will explore:

  • Why should business owners care about sustainability
  • How can sustainability impact the bottom line for business owners?
  • What are the short and long-term benefits for business owners that become more sustainable?
  • How can businesses become more sustainable?
  • What support is there for business to become more sustainable?

Panelists include:

  • Jayne Murdoch, Business Coach for Women's Enterprise, South of Scotland Enterprise
  • Ian Carstairs, Sustainability Team Leader, Scottish Enterprise
  • Marie McKinnon, Co-owner of Circle Vintage & Director of Dumfries Slow Fashion Movement
  • Michael Cusack, Head of Sustainability & Business Transformation, ACS Clothing
