The aim is to support SMEs to become more innovative and to engage in new supply chains while at the same time helping to prepare the companies to respond to new and growing markets. This event provides an introduction to the processes and the practical support, and tools available to evolve to a more sustainable business practice, and supply chain.
This workshop is a free online introduction for SMEs interested in gaining an understanding of net zero, who have little involvement or understanding of sustainable carbon offset supply chains. The workshop will provide insight into the process and the tools to support the journey. The EXTEND workshop is a networking opportunity to connect with experts, and to introduce the tools to facilitate your company’s transformation. EXTEND is a forum where SMEs can define, and voice their needs; tailor tools to support readiness for net zero. The workshop will explore themes including opportunity identification, and technical capability demonstration. The programme includes three invited speakers from SMEs working within the circular economy towards the net zero ambition. They will share their experience on how they developed a service in their circular economy, the lessons learnt, and best practice. Key themes covered are:
- Identifying the innovation steps needed to make the transition
- Identifying new supply chains,
- Exploring the changing nature of the customer and potential new markets.
- Workforce preparation through training such as online courses, CPD and workshop
