SBN: Know Your Data!

Hosted by sustainability expert Hannah Keartland, of Keartland & Co, the next event in the Sustainable Business Network series brings together a wealth of knowledge from some outstanding local leaders in sustainability. 

It's so easy to get overwhelmed by understanding the data needed to build a solid sustainability plan that many SMEs give up. But it doesn't have to be difficult, and we're here to help you cut through the confusion. Never let perfection get in the way of progress! 

Understanding your data isn't just valuable in terms of baselining and monitoring your progress. It provides a huge range of other benefits, including: 

•  increasing your priority in other businesses' supply chains
•  being prepared for incoming regulations, which will likely affect you indirectly through your suppliers and purchasers 
• attracting & retiaing the best talent by championing your achievements 
• helping you to paint the 'why' of your business, and how you're succeeding in your vision - and if you don't know why this is important for any business, watch this great 2 minute segment from Simon Sinek
