How can your business have a positive impact on your employees, communities and the planet, with no compromise to your profitability and security?

Finding the right balance takes experience, experimentation and a healthy dose of collaboration.

That’s why, at our next Impact Beyond Business event, we’re bringing together some of the sustainability space’s brightest minds and a whole host of leaders from planet-powered organisations to discuss just that.

It’s happening on Thursday 30 January, 9am – 1pm at our Sky View office near East Midlands airport, and we’d love it if you joined us.

This will be a unique opportunity to meet, chat with and learn from organisations at the forefront of all things ESG, so you can transform your business and its impact for good.
