Stevenage Borough Council has recently partnered with Sustainable X to deliver a fully funded Sustainable Support Programme for local businesses to support key learning of Sustainable practices and opportunities for businesses. The programme includes skills and training support on sustainable supply chain management and wider stakeholder engagement.
