The webinar will offer an understanding of key terminologies that will then give you the confidence to move forward with your sustainability actions. You will discover more about terms like carbon neutral, carbon negative, and net zero, the tasks we are faced with as organisations to achieve these terms, and how they affect your business. It doesn’t have to be complicated!
Are you interested in becoming Carbon Literate?
Carbon Literacy Training is a great way of reducing your organisational carbon footprint through the reduction in emissions each individual makes after engaging with the training and is a great way of improving internal buy-in of your sustainability actions.

Meet the team
Stephen Henry, Co-founder
We start the new year by introducing our co-founder, Stephen Henry. Stephen launched Positive Planet with co-founder Adam White after realising that SMEs were not getting the help and support they needed to benefit from the opportunities created by Net Zero. Stephen believes that you get back what you give, so can often be found delivering free webinars and events to share his knowledge with those who are unsure about what steps to take. He provides a strategic insight into the Net Zero challenge to government departments and local authorities. Stephen spends most of his time supporting and running Positive Planet, he is always available to engage with clients when required.
