Acting on the climate crisis is still high on the agenda. Businesses are, now more than ever, expected to play their part to keep the planet liveable. But it can feel overwhelming and difficult to know where to start.

In the second webinar of this Spring inspirational series, Géraldine Noé, Head of Environment at Business in the Community NI will be joined by Power NI and SONI – BITC Climate Champions – to understand how both organisations are supporting their businesses clients to decarbonise their energy supply.

Webinar agenda

• Case study: Power NI
• Case study: SONI
• Next steps – How Business in the Community can support you on your climate action journey
