Sustainable training launched for Louth businesses and entrepreneurs

NEST (North East Sustainable Tech) said it is proud to announce a new sustainability training series launching this September which is designed to support local businesses and entrepreneurs in integrating climate-conscious practices into their day-to-day operations.

“This initiative aligns perfectly with our mission at NEST — to not only support sustainable enterprise, but to equip our community with the knowledge and tools to lead on climate action,” said Karen Duffy, Centre Manager at NEST.

“The training is made possible through the generous sponsorship of the Ardee Credit Union, a valued community partner supporting innovation and resilience in the region.”

“We’re thrilled to support this important initiative,” said Niall Lambert, CEO Ardee Credit Union. “It reflects the Credit Union’s commitment to local enterprise and environmental responsibility.”
