Thursday 25th May 2023: The location at Wherstead Park, near Ipswich, was the venue for the official launch of the 25 by 25 campaign to get Suffolk businesses moving towards net zero.
In the nice weather, the outside had electric cars and vans on display as well as a chance to ride around on an electric bike to have a go. Inside the hall there were many exhibits covering all of the expertise for attendees to explore.
With nearly 200 delegates, this was the best attended event ever organised for the Carbon Charter to get its message out there.
Sincere thanks must go to Doug Field, CEO East of England Co-op, for chairing the event so brilliantly and we would also like to thank our panel of experts, Wendy Hodgson – WHAT Associates, Amy Coulter – Groundwork East, Richard Seppings – Anglia Car Charging, Peter Frost – Suffolk County Council, Glyn Lee – Suffolk County Council and Alex Wingate – SaveMoneyCutCarbon for sharing best practice and advice with the audience.
Thank you to all of our exhibitors for providing such useful information for others to take away and to Amy Coulter – Groundwork East and Adrian Dyter – Muntons for providing such insightful workshops!
So now the 25 by 25 campaign is launched to help Suffolk businesses make a bigger impact, or even their first steps, towards Net Zero the outlook is exciting to make a real difference to the commercial sector carbon footprint.
And YOU can join in with it. As part of the Creating the Greenest County ambitions for Suffolk, you can download an info pack with advice on making the first steps to reducing waste and pollution throughout your commercial activities and also a media pack to help get the message out there to potential customers.
With the rise of the ‘Green Consumer’ where shoppers are looking more closely at the environmental effects of how they spend their money, it is vital in the modern marketplace to make sure that your message aligns with what they are looking for.
