The Sustainability is Possible event will bring together Coffs business leaders telling stories of how they adopted sustainable practices and cut the cost of doing business – all while reducing their carbon footprint.

“Innovative thinking, resilience and sustainability are the pillars of business aptitude and capacity building and we are excited to have showcased some key foundations of these pillars to our local business community during the ‘Festival of New Thinking’” explained Fiona Barden, Council’s Section Leader, Industry and Destination Development.

Businesses of all types and sizes can benefit from this opportunity to learn and network with other like-minded people. The event is sure to entertain, educate and leave you feeling inspired with the knowledge that sustainability is possible!

Participants will be invited to express their interest in staying connected to collaborate and bolster the Coffs Coast’s sustainable business profile.
