Hundreds attend Festival of Sustainable Business Exhibition
Hundreds of business leaders and representatives from across Bristol have attended an exhibition aimed at improving sustainability in the industry.
The event, part of Future Leap’s Festival of Sustainable Business, took place at Paintworks on Thursday, featuring more than 50 exhibitors alongside talks and networking opportunities.
Speaking to Bristol24/7 on the day, Future Leap’s managing director Fenna Leake said: “It’s absolutely fantastic to see so many visitors coming to find out more about what’s going on in the sustainability scene in Bristol.
“If we’re going to transition to a just and sustainable future, we need to collaborate and work together to take more action. We can’t do this independently with organisations working in silo.”
Sponsored by Building Growth South West, EQUANS, Evelyn Partners, Bristol City Leap, Termex and Latcham, the exhibition is part of a year-round event series.
The next event, the Sustainable Business Awards, will take place on November 9, with applications closing on June 29.
