Accelerating Net Zero Action in Cornwall

Cornwall-based organisations benefitted from support on a range of net-zero projects, including:
- carbon footprinting
- B Corp applications
- communications and market research
- scope 3 emissions data
- assessing sustainability initiative impact
Enabling Future-Fit Change-Makers
The innovative leadership component included change leadership and personal development workshops for the interns to become future-fit as changemakers, leaders and role models of a low-carbon society.
These workshops focused on developing the necessary skills and tools, combined with the inspiration, confidence and ability, to facilitate compassionate and proactive change to tackle the climate challenge.
