Join the Carbon Charter team at this sustainable business event at Colchester Zoo, where the Groundwork team will be delivering a FREE workshop on Communicating Effectively about Sustainability.

The session will explore how to communicate with your stakeholders about sustainability – credibly and with confidence; how to avoid ‘greenwash’; and how to meet environmental requirements when applying for tenders and grants.
