Podcast series highlights value of Darlington Net Zero partnership
Seven podcasts will showcase Darlington Employers’ Environmental Partnership’s efforts towards sustainability and collaboration.
“The businesses coming together in DEEP have generated a real sense of momentum that is really encouraging, and we are not aware of another town in the UK that has shown the same kind of proactivity in developing a partnership approach to a momentous challenge facing businesses worldwide.
“Our aim is to encourage as many organisations as possible to play their part, and to learn from each other.
“It’s a macro to micro approach in which everyone – from major companies down to individuals – should be asking the question: ‘What contribution can I make?’
“Let’s acknowledge that we all have a responsibility but, at the same time, use DEEP as a way of promoting local businesses, and showcasing Darlington as a progressive place, where we support each other and operate collaboratively.”
