Webinar to inspire and guide businesses at the very start of their journey towards meaningful first steps in their sustainability ambitions

Date and time: to

Location: Online

Organisation: Highlands and Islands Enterprise

Sustainability is becoming an essential part of doing business in tourism – but knowing where to begin isn’t always easy. This free online webinar is designed to help tourism and hospitality businesses in the Highlands and Islands turn sustainability ambition into practical, manageable action.

Delivered for HIE by Green Business UK, this session brings together expert insight and real-world experience from across the tourism sector. Speakers include Lisa Wilson, Sustainable Tourism Assessor, and Andrea Nicholas, founder of the Green Tourism certification standard.

Find out what sustainable tourism means in practice, why it’s increasingly important to customers and communities, and how it can benefit your business. You’ll get clear, actionable help on:

  • resource and energy use;
  • waste reduction;
  • water consumption;
  • making small but effective changes to supply chains; and
  • how to engage your team in the process.

You’ll also learn how to carry out a simple baseline review, set realistic targets, develop an action plan, and understand what support is available. The session will include local case studies from local businesses already seeing the benefits of sustainability.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to build confidence in what you’re already doing, come along to be inspired, get informed and be ready to take the next steps.
