Sustainability is a growing requirement from governments, suppliers and customers. Many businesses still don't recognize that working sustainably also means working cost-effectively. To turn this around requires a willingness to buck conventional financial wisdom by focusing not on reducing the cost of each part but on increasing the efficiency as a whole.

During this event, a range of speakers from various green sectors, will share with you how companies can start making their facilities more sustainable and reduce the environmental footprint.
