Headline Topic – Sustainability & Net Zero

Sustainability and net zero are increasingly shaping the way manufacturers operate.  This brings both new challenges and significant opportunities for growth, efficiency and competitiveness.

This session will provide a practical overview of how manufacturing and engineering businesses can take meaningful steps towards net zero, while also improving productivity and strengthening their supply chains.

Delivered in partnership with Kent County Council, the session will explore the support available through the Low Carbon Kent programme, alongside wider circular economy initiatives supporting businesses across Kent and Medway.

Key areas to be explored include:

  • Understanding sustainability and regulatory expectations
  • Improving efficiency and reducing operational costs
  • Accessing practical support, training and accreditation
  • Strengthening supply chains through circular economy approaches

Attendees will gain insight into the tools, support and practical actions available to help them respond to increasing environmental expectations while maintaining commercial viability.
