Overview

Agenda (to be finalised)

- Welcome and update from the Chair

- Decarbonising Industry and Commercial Properties

We will hear a case study from Penny Engineering Group, who have taken a proactive approach to decarbonising their business. With emissions from the industry sector falling by 4.7 MtCO2e in 2024 compared to the previous year (48% lower than 2008 levels), decarbonisation of industry/commercial properties is a key factor in hitting the governments net zero targets. We will hear about some of the great work undertaken, some of the challenges and discuss where additional support could make key gains for industry – Tim Penny, Managing Director, Penny Engineering Group.
