Join us for a dynamic morning of insight, inspiration, and practical action as The Bolsover Net Zero Innovation Programme partners with Balfour Beatty to lift the lid on what a major industry leader are doing to drive sustainability at scale.

This half-day event brings together experts from across Balfour Beatty to share how they are transforming operations and accelerating progress towards a net-zero future. From a look at their Building New Futures sustainability strategy to a hands-on decarbonisation workshop, attendees will gain real-world knowledge they can apply within their own organisations.

With opportunities to network, learn, and explore new avenues for collaboration, this is a rare chance for local SMEs to see how a company of Balfour Beatty’s size is tackling the climate challenge — and how smaller businesses can play a powerful role in that journey.

If you’re looking to strengthen your sustainability approach, upskill your team, or better understand what net-zero leadership looks like in practice, this event is not to be missed.

🚫 Myth: Networking is just swapping business cards

✅ Reality: Networking isn’t a transaction - it’s a relationship. People buy from people they know, like, and trust, and that trust usually comes from real conversations over time. The win isn’t “how many people did I meet?” - it’s “who did I genuinely connect with?”

Do you enjoy networking? 👍 Yes 😅 Not really
