I'm thrilled to share my experience attending an Enterprise Ireland workshop Yesterday! It was inspiring to see how #Ireland is putting #sustainability at the forefront of business strategy and etiquette. As a student in Climate Change: Media, Policy and Society at Dublin City University, I was impressed by Enterprise Ireland's commitment to helping Irish SMEs grow globally while prioritising sustainable practices. Their approach aligns perfectly with the global push towards #NetZero emissions and the Paris Agreement goals. The workshop highlighted the critical role of climate communication and understanding in the business sector. Enterprise Ireland is empowering Irish companies to: Develop sustainability strategies, Implement eco-friendly practices, Innovate for a low-carbon future, Expand internationally with a green focus, It's clear that Enterprise Ireland recognises that in today's world, business growth and sustainability go hand in hand. Their support for SMEs to align with the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals is not just admirable, but essential for long-term success in the global market. As future climate professionals, it's rewarding to see organisations like Enterprise Ireland bridging the gap between business ambitions and environmental responsibility. They are proving that economic growth and sustainability can - and must - coexist. #ClimateAction #IrishBusiness #GlobalGrowth #GreenInnovation #SDGs Enterprise Ireland UK Dublin City University Irish Council for International Students (ICOS)
