Sustainable Business by Design Starts in Taunton

SUSTAINABLE PROFITS

Being in business is about making profit. Making profit means having an advantage. That means being attractive to customers, suppliers and employees. And that means behaving responsibly towards them. That’s the bottom line, and the focus of a series of events being co-ordinated by the Somerset Design Enterprise Network, part of The Creative Industries iNet. So how can businesses and organisations operate in ways which are responsible and sustainable?

The ‘Sustainable Business by Design’ conference in being held in Somerset on 22nd March brings together experts, businesses, designers, policy-makers and the public sector to share ideas and experiences. So how is it done? How do we create products and services which are sustainable? The conference’s speakers are the nation’s leading lights on building sustainable business, and on a mission to reveal the golden tickets which have a genuine positive impact for business.

This won’t be the usual generic ‘greenwash’ we’ve all heard bandied about. Exploring every aspect of a business, from the strategic vision to the fine-tuning of products and services, the conference is your chance to find out first hand the techniques, tools and tips which really make a difference. Sector-specific workshops across Somerset and Devon go deeper, exploring in detail how businesses and organisations across the South West have turned their sustainable approach to real commercial advantage, helping them grow and build ever greater profits.
