IIRSM Yorkshire and Humber Branch

We hope you can join us for the next Yorkshire & Humber Branch meeting on Wednesday 04 September 2024 @ 13:00 BST. Topic: Opportunities in Net Zero Overview: Meeting NET Zero targets is arguably the biggest challenge since the Industrial Revolution and whilst some companies have made great strides, some have yet to start. But where do you start? How long do you have to get it done and; What will be the implications for your company if you don't? We'll be hearing from Tamma Carel of ICOR Systems Ltd explaining the regulatory principles and legislation that will impact organisations, from the perspectives of risk and opportunity to help you start or sustain your NET Zero journey. Speaker: Tamma Carel (PIEMA, FIIRSM, MSc, BSc) Carel, Co-Founder and Senior Environmental Consultant, iCOR Systems Ltd.
