Urbano is committed to helping its members find new valuable connections and business opportunities whilst facing up to the real challenges of climate change. Our Zero Carbon Community hosts regular events and features the latest thinking and science around achieving Net Zero Carbon alongside our invited speakers' own specialisms and experience.

As Build is our biggest community and the largest part of the UK economy, most events feature and connect companies in those sectors, but we also encourage and welcome those from other communities, including Tech, Finance, People & Create-Media as achieving Net Zero Carbon commitments means cross-company and sector collaboration.

Urbano also challenges our members to adopt changes more deeply and more quickly than those the current legislation demands. No company is doing enough and we all need to reduce our own impact on the planet through our day-to-day activities and those along our supply chains. This is why we as a network adhere to the following pledges:

• Urbano is committed to always using compostable or recyclable products: from the laminate on our business cards and Venue Collection handbook to the lanyards we use at events; from using vegetable ink and recycled paper for our handouts then composting the used sheets and any abandoned business cards
• We have owned and used an electric car since August, 2020 and try to use railfor all other journeys
• To encourage our venues to use their most local suppliers where possible (for refreshments) and reduce the amount of meat in our event menus
• To embrace the use of online networking and meeting alternatives as viable low carbon options whilst recognising the value of face-to-face contacts
• To make our events and membership affordable to all companies and individuals so we can share information and expertise along supply chains and across sectors.
