Free business sustainability course for Eastbourne firms to be run by council

Net Zero 360, developed by the University of Brighton’s Green Growth Platform, is a two-part workshop that helps businesses unlock the benefits of taking action on sustainability.

These benefits include reducing costs, attracting customers, boosting employee satisfaction, getting access to larger tender opportunities, and convincing investors of long-term prospects.

The workshop is run in partnership with Eastbourne Borough Council and is exclusively for businesses in the area. It is part-funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Councillor Jim Murray, Cabinet Member for Climate Change, said: “These free sessions have been specially designed to help Eastbourne businesses across all sectors get to grips with sustainability.

“This council is committed to making the transition to carbon net zero and helping local businesses on their sustainability journey is very much part of this process.”
