IN a collective effort to harness the power of green finance and promote sustainable business practices, the Hampshire Chamber of Commerce and Destination Basingstoke, supported by headline sponsors NatWest and Em3 Growth Hub, have joined hands to present a 'green' event.

Unlocking Hampshire's Green Potential is scheduled to take place at the Apollo Hotel Basingstoke, starting at 9am on Wednesday, November 8.

The signature event is poised to provide valuable insights into achieving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals through practical, business-oriented steps.

The event offers a unique opportunity for attendees to glean firsthand advice from local businesses that have successfully incorporated sustainable practices into their operations.

Throughout the day, the event will spotlight innovative local businesses, shedding light on the tangible ways in which they have realised their ESG ambitions.

Attendees can look forward to a green finance panel discussion, spearheaded by NatWest, which will explore the various funding avenues available to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in implementing these vital changes.

The event also provides an ideal platform for attendees to connect with like-minded individuals within the peer network, all driven by the shared aspiration of building a more sustainable future.

The gathering is primarily centred around its members and the PEER Network.

It aims to facilitate mutual learning about sustainable journeys and provide insights into the investment experiences of SMEs, from their growth stages to larger enterprises.
