Sustainability as a Business Tool
How can sustainability help companies win new contracts, reduce costs, and boost their competitiveness? This will be the focus of the next workshop in the Green Evolution Lab series, which will take place on October 22, 2026, at Impact Hub Brno. Markéta Svobodová will speak on behalf of Enterprise Europe Network Czechia. In her workshop, she will show how small and medium-sized enterprises can prepare for the requirements of large customers and use sustainability as a competitive advantage.
How can we make better decisions for the company, our customers, and the future?
Major customers and new legislation are increasingly demanding that companies provide more information about the origin of materials, packaging, and the environmental impact of production. But what if these new requirements aren’t just another obligation—but also an opportunity to save money, win new contracts, or stay one step ahead?
Come to brunch at Impact Hub Brno and hear about the experiences of companies and individuals who are tackling these calls in practice. You can look forward to delicious refreshments and, of course, plenty of opportunities for questions and networking.
