The Journey to Net Zero
To achieve her sustainability goals, Preethi recognised the need to deepen her understanding of Net Zero and its contributing factors. "I think that, in order to be [Net Zero], I need to also be aware and educated in what Net Zero is and what are the different factors that would help my organisation, as well as those that I partner with, to reach that," says Preethi.
Support from Mentors and Advisors
Collaboration has been instrumental in Preethi’s success. By working with Buckinghamshire Business First's business advisors, she gained fresh perspectives and timely advice. "They always provide a very good sounding board of what is happening as a snapshot in my business," she shares, "and then provide very timely advice on certain things that I could be thinking about."
Creating a Sustainable Future
Preethi’s journey highlights the importance of education, collaboration, and innovative tools in tackling environmental challenges. "Some of those things," she notes, "have really helped to move the business forward." As her story demonstrates, every step toward sustainability—no matter how small—can lead to transformative change for businesses and the planet.
