North East Sustainable Tech (NEST) has announced a new sustainability training series which is launching this September to support local businesses and entrepreneurs in integrating climate-conscious practices into their day-to-day operations.

The training is made possible through the generous sponsorship of the Ardee Credit Union, a valued community partner supporting innovation and resilience in the region.
