E-DATA Sustainability Insights - May webinar

Cost: Free

In the 2026 business landscape, sustainability is no longer a "nice to have" - it is a core driver of cost control, resilience, competitiveness, and compliance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Rising energy prices, customer expectations, and regulatory pressures mean businesses must act now.

This Sustainability Insights Workshop provides a clear, practical route to understanding sustainability in the SMEs context, data-driven techniques to improve sustainability, and identifying realistic actions that deliver measurable business benefits - without adding unnecessary complexity or cost.

Why attend?

Sustainability isn't just about doing the right thing - it's about running a smarter business. Evidence shows that SMEs actively improving their sustainability performance benefit from:

• 10–30% reductions in energy and resource costs through efficiency measures

• Service-based SMEs: Carbon footprint insights identifying quick wins saving both time and money.
