Growth Through Sustainability

11 February 2022

We teamed up with eight other local authorities to host a free event on 11 February, ‘Growth Through Sustainability’, to help businesses across Hertfordshire understand how by lowering emissions, they can not only save on major costs but also reduce their carbon footprint. The event was funded by the Hertfordshire Health Protection Board, and supported by Hertfordshire Better Business for All.

If you couldn’t make it on the day, here are some of the highlights.
