Pleased to be at my first #GreenSummit today. Enjoyed @Carbon_Literacy proving how when you develop a great offer aligned to audience needs things can scale like crazy. We need more of that! I’m that vein the #BeeNetZero workshop gathered views from business on what they need.
I’m looking forward to a “responsible business in action” event shortly with our #BeeNetZero partners @BITC. Looks like a great lineup of forward/broad thinking businesses, so I’m expecting to learn something and get some fresh inspiration.
