The first of Manchester Central’s incubator events will take place next month, welcoming business leaders across the North to discuss the importance of sustainability within business.
The Northern Sustainability Summit, organised by Manchester-based business group Elevate, will focus on educating business leaders on sustainability and Net Zero.
The day-long conference will take place on 12 June and host a programme of keynotes, workshops, drop-in sessions and exhibitor demonstrations, as well as a number of panel events across sectors including hospitality, transport, supply chain and tourism.
Leading speakers taking part in the event so far include GAIL’s Bakery, The Alchemist, Syngenta, RHS Bridgewater, Electricity North West, Auto Trader, Chester Zoo and Marketing Manchester who will all share best practice and discuss the difficulties encountered on implementing green strategies.
The Northern Sustainability Summit was one of two events to win Manchester Central’s incubator competition last year.
Shaun Hinds, CEO at Manchester Central, said: “All businesses, no matter how small or large, should have sustainability at the forefront of their corporate strategy, and having seen the full programme for this event, I know it will be of huge benefit to attendees in helping them shape their own sustainability and environmental processes going forward.”
Ilona Alcock, co-founder and director at Elevate, added: “We felt that there was a gap for a business focused sustainability event and since the launch we have had such an incredible response, which is a real testament to businesses in the North and their commitment to achieving Net Zero.”
