The Stress Free Way to Meet the CQC and Council Environmental Requirements

3 December 2024

2:00pm - 3:30pm

On Zoom

Reducing the energy you use in your organisation not only reduces carbon emissions, which is good for the planet, it also saves money.

Local Authorities are increasingly looking to decrease their carbon emissions and many are working with their suppliers to help them achieve this. The CQC is also requiring providers to produce a Green Plan from April 2025.

This can seem daunting but there is help at hand. Birmingham City Council and Solihull MBC are working together to provide extra support on sustainability and environmental issues for SME businesses.

We’re starting off with a fact packed training session hosted by WMCA and Birmingham and Solihull councils can help with in-depth support after that.

This event is relevent to all local authority areas not just Birmingham and Solihull
