Building climate resilience: managing climate and supply chain challenges in Construction
As the world gears up for the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), a crucial milestone in the global fight against climate change, it's essential for us to understand its key objectives and how they relate to businesses like yours. COP28 is set to accelerate climate action, strengthen commitments under the Paris Agreement, and drive innovation in sustainable practices. In keeping with these goals, we're excited to announce the launch of our own series of webinars dedicated to SMEs:
Driving the green transition: How SMEs can navigate climate challenges and grow sustainably
These webinars cover four sectors of agro-food processing, construction, textile and tourism & hospitality and are aimed at getting SME owners to start thinking about how climate change will affect them, while empowering them to take climate action and drive a more sustainable and resilient future.
In this session, seasoned experts and SMEs whom are actively pursuing their green business opportunities in the construction sector share their perspectives on the implications physical and transitional climate change risks will have on SMEs. An industry sustainability expert and a certification expert will outline the risks of inactions for SMEs and refine action points across hotspots in the industry. Moreover, SMEs will share how integrating greener practices has impacted their bottom line.
