Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce is helping businesses play their part in supporting the environment with the launch of the Business Green Scene network.
The aim of the new network is to connect businesses with an interest in environmental sustainability so they can work together. Those who join will also act as the collective voice of sustainable business for the region, feeding back on the key green issues to central government.
Alex Booth, SME Support, Greater Manchester Chamber, came up with the idea for the Business Green Scene after realising local businesses needed a network focused on the environment.
He said: “I’m passionate about this issue and I could see there was a real demand for this sort of network in Greater Manchester. At any environmental sustainability business event, you can guarantee the speakers will talk about the need for more collaboration across sectors and industry. Business Green Scene will provide a platform for that collaboration.
“The network will be a place where like-minded employees and business owners can meet and motivate each other into action, then connect with local experts who will help guide them on their journey.”
Alex added: “Organisations of any size and from any sector can join the network, providing they have a presence in Greater Manchester. Any employee from a director to an apprentice can sign-up. This is a unique opportunity to get involved with a network right from the start and to kick-start or progress your business’ positive impact on our local environment.”
