From Ambition to Action seminars

Three expert led seminars for businesses and organisations interested in implementing a carbon reduction action plan.

Cambridge Carbon Footprint, in partnership with Investors in the Environment (iiE) hosted three, free expert led sessions for businesses and organisations looking for advice on how to get started on systematically addressing their carbon footprint. The series of online seminars was designed to introduce participants to the three key areas of an Environmental Management System (EMS).

You can now watch all three sessions free of charge, and download the slides.

49% of Cambridge’s greenhouse gas emissions come from industry and commercial sources. We know there’s a huge appetite from people within businesses and organisations to play a part in moving towards net zero, but many find it difficult to know where to begin. The ‘From Ambition to Action’ seminars should provide you with the confidence you need to start implementing a system that suits the scale and unique requirements of the organisation you represent and will signpost you to further support and expertise if needed.
