Planet, People, Profit – three Ps of sustainability
 

These are the 'Three Ps' of sustainability in business that Dr David Bek from Coventry University will discuss in conversation with Boyd Douglas-Davies.

 

He'll look at how balancing these 'Ps' can create a business model that provides value to all stakeholders in a modern enterprise. As one of the UK's leading researchers, David's got a huge insight into how horticulture across the world is responding to the sustainability challenge.

Members are able to attend dedicated sessions for growers, retailers and landscapers. Members can join a live webinar if they are unable to attend - which will allow them to ask questions. The webinars will also be available afterwards (free for members ad chargeable for non-members).
