Llanelli event spotlights environment
A free event to inspire businesses and organisations to use more environmentally sound methods in the workplace to increase profits has been arranged by the Dragon Innovation Partnership for next week.
The Decrease Waste and Increase Profit event will be held at Technium Performance Engineering in Dafen, Llanelli on June 10th, and aims to help businesses beat the credit crunch, increase their profits and save the environment.
Following a successful first event at Baglan last November and a few tweaks to the agenda, June’s event has already attracted a host of experienced speakers and supporting businesses including Jeremy Thorne from Pitstop Automotive, an award winning sustainable car wash, and Jenny Fox from Trysordy Treasure House, a social enterprise finding ways to make business waste profitable.
Jan Morgan from Swansea University’s School of Environment and Society will run a workshop on Professional Practice for Sustainable Development, and Mark Blackmore, a sustainability expert from the South West Wales Higher Education Partnership, will head a workshop on ten top tips to beat the credit crunch.
Natural Power Wales and Footprintmatters2u will also be at the event to share their expertise, and there will also be opportunities for businesses and organisations to discuss the challenges they face in trying to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly in an ‘ask the expert’ session.
Chris Talbot, Dragon Innovation Partnership manager, said:
“The event is a chance for businesses in Wales to benefit from industry and academic expertise.
“It’s also a chance for businesses to see how working collaboratively with universities in the long term can benefit them.
“All businesses and organisations in Wales are welcome to attend the event – where they will find out more about how to save money and increase their profits, with the added bonus of saving the environment, and taking responsibility for their carbon footprint.”
The event that will run from 8.30am until 1.00pm on Thursday 10th June 2010 also includes a complimentary working breakfast and refreshments.
Those interested in attending the event should contact Duncan Gardner from the Dragon Innovation Partnership, on 01267 676861 or duncan.gardner@trinity-cm.ac.uk, to register as spaces are limited.
