Here is a summary of the initatives we'll be discussing:

Real Living Wage

The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate that is voluntarily paid by almost 9,000 UK businesses who believe their staff deserve a wage which meets everyday needs. Almost 300,000 employees have received a pay rise as a result of the Living Wage campaign and have a broad range of employers accredited.

Circular Tayside

Circular Tayside is a collaboration between Zero Waste Scotland, Perthshire Chamber of Commerce and Dundee and Angus Chamber of Commerce that aims to help local businesses and organisations transition towards circular economy. The project was launched after a 2018 report identified a financial potential of £404 million for Tayside businesses that would adopt circular economy practices. Circular Tayside aims to help local businesses in the transition towards a circular economy and offers access to Zero Waste Scotland support that includes free workshops, business consultancy and grant funding. They can offer a carefully tailored range of support, to help businesses at every stage, from idea generation to market analysis and funding for project development.

If you are already supporting these initiatives, we would still like you to attend so that we can hear how these have helped your organisation and you can share the benefits with other employers.
