A concrete climate strategy for your SME, without complicated processes

More and more SMEs are facing questions about sustainability. Large organisations are increasingly asking their suppliers about their CO₂ footprint, pushing that question down through the entire supply chain. Customers are becoming more environmentally conscious, and certifications demand concrete results. The willingness to get started is often there, but the starting point is missing. The question we hear most often as carbon consultants is: Where do I start, and what can I do with it?

In this webinar, we answer that question. Using four practical steps (measure, reduce, offset and communicate), we show how to build a climate strategy that works in practice. No complicated legislation or lengthy reports, just a clear approach that fits the reality of an SME.

You'll gain insight into what a climate strategy delivers in concrete terms: from lower emissions and lower costs to a stronger position with customers, tenders and certifications. We'll share relatable examples of companies who went before you, and introduce you to CO₂ Expert, which lets you calculate your Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO₂ footprint for free.

Whether you're a producer, trader or service provider: after this session you'll know where to start and how to build on it step by step. Because companies that gain insight into their emissions now are prepared for today's and tomorrow's expectations.

Programme

Why sustainability matters for SMEs

Discover why sustainability is no longer optional for small and medium-sized businesses. We'll cover key developments and the benefits a climate strategy can bring you.

Understanding your CO₂ emissions as a starting point

A solid climate strategy starts with measuring. We'll explain how you can easily map your company's emissions using Scope 1, 2 and 3.

What it delivers for your business

We'll show what insight into your footprint delivers commercially: a clear starting point, sharper priorities, and results you can use with customers, tenders and certifications.

Reducing based on your emissions profile

Every organisation has a different starting point. We'll discuss how to identify your biggest opportunities, with real-world examples.

Offsetting and communicating

We'll look at taking responsibility for remaining emissions through certified nature projects, and at sharing your results credibly.

Questions & discussion

An open session where you can ask your own questions and engage with our experts and other attendees.
