Business Sustainability Peer Networks (Harrogate)

5 Nov 2024

Do you want to improve environmental sustainability in your business? Make changes with the support of like-minded peers. York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority are funding Business Sustainability Peer Networks for local SME’s.


Based on feedback from local businesses, we are facilitating peer network groups for business leaders to:

  • Discover how other local businesses have become more environmentally sustainable
  • Troubleshoot challenges and find solutions together
  • Get the information you need to make real change and identify cost and energy savings in your business.

Over the year, sessions will cover topics such as exploring low-cost energy efficiency methods, green skills, carbon management and reduction, and green innovation and technology.

You’ll leave the sessions with a better understanding of what all these terms mean for you, how others are implementing change, and how to take action to improve sustainability in your business. Each session will focus loosely on a topic, but what is discussed will led by you and what you would like support with.

Where and when?

The sessions will be held in venues in the Harrogate area.

The first session will be held 09:30-12:00, Tuesday 5 November at the premises of Techbuyer in Harrogate (Unit C1, Crimple Ct, Hornbeam Square N, Harrogate HG2 8PB)

The remaining sessions will be scheduled at times and venues to suit the group.
