Our panel of experts will share tips on how SMEs can reuse and recycle to create an environmentally-friendly workplace
Anyone for an eco cup of tea? From making the most of natural sunlight, to reusing second-hand office furniture, there are plenty of ways small businesses can introduce environmentally-friendly practices into their workplace at a low cost and without much extra hassle.
Sustainability appears to be increasingly on the agenda for small businesses. Nearly a quarter of West Midlands' SMEs said sustainability was one of their top three priorities for 2014, according to research from Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking at the start of this year.
So, if you're wondering where to start, or if you've introduced some sustainable measures but are keen to do more, our panel of experts will be offering tips, advice and ideas during our live Q&A. We'll be looking at some of the more creative ways small businesses are reusing and recycling, and discuss how you can motivate your staff to get on board.
We'll also discuss practical issues such as, what goals should your business set itself? How should you promote your green credentials? Is the infrastructure is in place to help SMEs recycle and reduce waste? Should local councils be doing more?
Join us on Wednesday 11 June, between 1pm-2.30pm, when our panel of experts will be discussing these questions and more.
