May 2026 Webinars: Carbon Reduction Plans & Product Footprinting

Circular Ecology are delighted to announce two free webinars for May 2026, focusing on areas where organisations are facing increasing pressure to improve the quality and credibility of their carbon reporting:

• Carbon Reduction Plans: PPN 006 & NHS Net Zero Supplier Roadmap
• Product Carbon Footprinting, LCA & EPDs: A Practical Introduction

The first session covers Carbon Reduction Plans under PPN 006 and the NHS Net Zero Supplier Roadmap, outlining current requirements, upcoming changes and what suppliers need to prepare when bidding for public sector and NHS contracts.

The second webinar provides a practical introduction to Product Carbon Footprinting, Life Cycle Assessment, and Environmental Product Declarations, explaining how these assessments are produced and how the results are used in practice.

These sessions include time for questions and are open to anyone with an interest in carbon reporting or sustainability.

Both webinars are free to attend, but spaces are limited. You can register via the links below.
