Building a Sustainable Automotive Industry: How to create a carbon reduction plan

Introduction

Climate change is the greatest challenge now facing humanity and it can seem hard to work out how we can change our personal and business practices to make a positive difference.  

Great strides have been made in reducing our industry’s impact on the environment with organisations developing and implementing their own sustainability strategies.

But this is a big problem that won’t be solved overnight, there’s lots to learn and collaboration will be key for us all to succeed. Our purpose is ‘Driving Change Together. Responsibly.’ and we’re aiming to create a space in the industry to discuss how we can all become more sustainable, regardless of starting point.

Building a sustainable automotive industry

The goal of this joint event with Auto Trader is to bring together key voices in the industry as well as external experts to share best practice, learn how each of us can progress in our sustainability journeys, and ensure the industry is taking a joined up approach to tackling the problem of climate change.

This event will explore “How to Make a Carbon Reduction Plan,” and we have prepared a packed agenda. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect:
