10:30 AM - 4:00 PM BSTPlanet C ConferenceDescription
This year, our conference will be held at The Eden Project on September 27th, and the day begins with our September monthly BIG Breakfast on site, facilitated by Jennie Atkinson from Green - Works.
Our Planet C conference is focused on giving all businesses - from sole traders, to SMEs, through to our large enterprises in Cornwall, the tools to be able to start shifting their culture to create positive change.
We can’t sit around and wait for the government to come up with a credible, long-term strategy to support businesses on their net zero journeys – it will be too late.
Planet C is about providing Cornwall’s businesses with tangible ways to help reduce the global average temperature, without compromising the stability of their organisation. It’s all about broadening the mindset and making everyone realise just how much impact they can have.
This year’s conference theme is Business Leadership for Sustainability. Speakers from different industries will share their approaches and learnings on climate action and sustainability, and offer an opportunity for discussion and collaboration, helping the business community come together and rise to the challenge.
