Driving Decarbonisation: What SMEs Can learn from Balfour Beatty
Location: The Tangent Business Hub, Weighbridge Road, Shirebrook, NG20 8RX
A dynamic morning of insight, inspiration, and practical action to lift the lid on what a industry leader are doing to drive sustainability.
Join Business in Bolsover for a dynamic morning of insight, inspiration, and practical action as The Bolsover Net Zero Innovation Programme partners with Balfour Beatty to lift the lid on what a major industry leader are doing to drive sustainability at scale.
This half‑day event brings together experts from across Balfour Beatty to share how they are transforming operations and accelerating progress towards a net zero future. From a look at their Building New Futures sustainability strategy to a hands on decarbonisation workshop, attendees will gain real‑world knowledge they can apply within their own organisations.
With opportunities to network, learn, and explore new avenues for collaboration, this is a rare chance for local SMEs to see how a company of Balfour Beatty’s size is tackling the climate challenge, and how smaller businesses can play a powerful role in that journey.
If you’re looking to strengthen your sustainability approach, upskill your team, or better understand what net zero leadership looks like in practice, this event is not to be missed.
