SUMMARY:Thought Leadership Series: Contextualising Science Based Targets - Johannesburg
DESCRIPTION:The National Business Initiative (NBI) is hosting a practical seminar where we will explore case studies of international businesses that have set Science Based Targets (SBTs).  \nSetting a Science Based Target for greenhouse gases is the most important thing businesses can do this year. The way that companies approach setting targets needs to be scientific and aligned with a climate-safe path.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Business Partnering with Local Government - Cape Town
DESCRIPTION:The success of local government is the success of all South Africans. There can be no effective social transformation and economic transition in South Africa without a strong role played by municipalities. \nLocal government is a key sphere of government\, responsible for a range of service delivery areas that interface directly with companies\, their employees and communities. Building on existing initiatives by the private sector to support municipalities and enhance service delivery is key to ensuring a resilient and productive society. This workshop\, implemented by the National Business Initiative (NBI) under the NDP Business Action Plan\, will examine how the private sector is already working in partnership with local government and identify how these efforts can be strengthened. \nPlease contact Sindi Dlamini for more information.
