With political and economic landscapes changing at an unprecedented rate, you may be forgiven to think that carbon reduction is slipping down the agenda. Not so: with environmental sustainability sewn in to everything we build in construction nowadays the focus for this event is to explore the carbon reduction agenda and the client’s need for socially responsible businesses… something that through the Social Value Act is an increasingly concerning matter for all public sector procurers.
Speaker 1: Charlotte Houldsworth, The Carbon Trust
The Green Business Fund – energy efficiency financing for SMEs

Speaker 2: Dr Michelle Brennan, Project Five Consulting
