As part of NatWest’s mission to support our customers’ transition towards a low carbon economy, NatWest are looking to host a series of informal lunches with SME businesses in the SME turnover range £2m-£25m from across the region which will examine key issues faced by the business community around climate change.
More and more businesses are thinking about how they can become more sustainable and improve their green credentials. SMEs are the backbone of the UK economy and have two distinct opportunities to create value from delivering climate action: driving business value by reducing their own emissions, and unlocking growth through wider climate action. There is a £175 billion revenue* opportunity for SMEs between now and 2030 as a result of the drive to tackle climate change. There has never been a better time for SMEs to act.
We would be delighted to engage with the wider business community, regardless of their banking partner, to discuss what stages different types of business are at on the climate journey, what it means to be a sustainable business, what support is available and how is it accessed? Our business guests may either find out more about initial steps to take to start the journey or share their experiences and practical ways they have become more climate-conscious.
If you would like to join us in this key discussion topic, then please contact either Nathan Johnson nathan.johnson@natwest.com or Kevin Connors kevin.connors@natwest.com to express your interest.
