Meet the Council: Your City. Your Say - Environmental Sustainability

Environmental sustainability is increasingly shaping the rules for doing business, from how you operate and who you supply, to the contracts you win and the costs you carry.

For businesses in Doncaster, the challenge is not just understanding the direction of travel, but what it means in practice. How local policy, planning decisions, infrastructure and investment will affect your day to day operations and future growth.

Join us for a straight talking, interactive session with senior leaders from the City of Doncaster Council, focused on the practical realities of this agenda and where it is heading locally.

We will explore how environmental sustainability is being translated into local decision making, how it connects with regional partners including South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, and what businesses need to be aware of now.

As with all Your City, Your Say events, this is your opportunity to ask questions, challenge thinking, and make sure business voices are shaping the city’s approach.
