Webinar Description:
Climate change is here; net zero plans are in motion. But a crucial component of businesses approach to climate action may be missing: supporting local communities.
Climate change doesn’t stop at the boardroom door. Extreme weather, rising temperatures, and energy disruptions affect not only businesses but also the communities in which they operate - and their ability to adapt directly influences business resilience. For organisations, helping local communities adapt is no longer simply an act of corporate responsibility - it is a necessity.
Join Business Green and Equans to discuss how businesses helping communities adapt to climate risks can:
- Reduce risks to operations by strengthening infrastructure, energy supplies and transport networks
- Ensure a stable workforce
- Earn stronger customer loyalty
- Appeal to investors that prioritise ESG
