Net zero guidance for North Wales business leaders

The Institute of Directors (IoD) North Wales branch hosted an event at Theatr Clwyd in Mold, featuring guest speakers from carbon positive business Celtic Financial Planning and PR agency Outwrite PR. The event aimed to educate attendees on achieving net zero in alignment with evolving governmental policies and effectively communicating such efforts to stakeholders. Liam Evans-Ford, the theatre s executive director, updated attendees on the multi-million-pound redevelopment project, which is transforming the building into a fossil-fuel-free structure, reducing its carbon footprint by around 80%. David Roberts, the IoD Chair for North Wales, emphasized the importance of events like this in providing business leaders with the necessary insight and guidance to succeed in their markets. He highlighted the value of expert advice in fostering open discussions about sustainable practices, ultimately inspiring confidence and reducing uncertainties. Rob Lewis, Celtic Financial Planning s director, stressed the importance of prioritizing sustainability and its positive impact on overall performance. Anthony Bullick, Outwrite PR s managing director, shared strategies for informing stakeholders about a company s net zero ambitions and progress, including website content, media relations, shared media, and ESG reports. The IoD North Wales plans to continue supporting business leaders through networking and training opportunities in the region. Interested individuals can become IoD volunteers by contacting David Roberts or visiting the IoD s website for more information.
