Event details
Join Pete Waddingham, National Net Zero Lead, AHSN Network who is hosting this webinar, "Sustainability and Carbon Net Zero – Good for the economy as well as the environment," where we explore why Investing in sustainable technology is a smart economic decision for the public sector and NHS. It can reduce costs, create new jobs, and stimulate economic growth.
A sustainable technology and Carbon Net Zero future can be achieved through the adoption of renewable energy sources, energy-efficient technologies, and sustainable practices.
Existing technology can already enable the public sector to make sustainable investments and our networks offer access to information, resources, and expertise.
Aligning with environmental goals is in the best interest of both buyers and suppliers, fostering a mutually beneficial landscape.
By investing in sustainable technology, the public sector and NHS can reduce their carbon footprint and promote a healthier environment for everyone.
