Zhero - Developing Our Business

"Being a part of the Zero Emission Network really helped us at Zhero formalise our strategy in the early stages of developing our business. We've met wonderful like-minded people at their networking events, and realised that we were definitely not alone in trying to make our local area more sustainable. We're excited to see the network grow and welcome more members, and hope to present the efforts we are making to help London reach net-zero at a future event. ZEN membership also adds weight to our belief that we take the climate emergency seriously, how we have built this into our company ethos, then bring this to the table when working with our clients"
