At Nottingham Trent University (NTU), we are committed to delivering innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Earlier this year we launched the Sustainability in Enterprise project that provides practical support and funding to local SMEs to reduce their carbon emissions and become more sustainable through four key areas: people, products, premises and processes. We also offer a fully funded course – Sustainability and Inclusive Leadership – to employees of local SMEs to improve their understanding of sustainable actions and carbon literacy. This support is complemented by our wider array of business support that can connect businesses with the best student and graduate talent, opportunities to up-skill through our professional and short courses, and access to our academic expertise and facilities. The Sustainability in Enterprise project and SAIL course are part-funded by the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF).
