Webinar: Net zero reset? Partner insight with Co-op and SSE Business Energy

On June 4th watch the fourth in our series of video webinars with Nikki Flanders and Nigel Holden discussing the concept of the ‘net zero reset’. Where is the future post coronavirus going to take us?

Into a new world, where we now invest only in the cleaner technologies, industries and social structures to get us to net zero. Or will we return to the rush for short term survival, fossil fuels as we did post the 2008 crash?

We have the power to shape the future ahead, help start that conversation going.

Speakers:

• Nigel Holden, Head of Co-op Power
• Nikki Flanders, Managing Director of Energy Customer Solutions Great Britain and Ireland, SSE Plc
