Centrica: How to balance cost and carbon
28 June 2023
With today’s cost pressures and market uncertainty, many organisations are finding it hard to keep up momentum towards net zero.
However, the reality is that sustainability and cost efficiency can work together. Food and drink organisations that neglect carbon reduction now will risk competitive disadvantage and even higher costs in the medium- to long-term. By building a strong business case and taking smart, incremental steps towards net zero you can stay ahead of volatile energy prices and tighter environmental regulation.
In partnership with the Food and Drink Federation (FDF), a Net Zero expert from Centrica Business Solutions, and guest speaker (TBC); a research participant from the food and drink industry, will reveal some key learnings from a recent survey conducted by Centrica Business and the best steps to help deliver a cost-effective path to net zero.
Session themes:
- Building a case to justify net zero investment in tough economic times
- The incremental steps to deliver a cost-efficient pathway to net zero
- How innovation can de-risk & support cost-effective decarbonisation
- Proven strategies to balance your economic & environmental goals – Research participant from food and drink organisation (TBC)
- Financing sustainability investments: paths and paybacks
