Investing in energy and net zero
About the conference
Reaching net zero will require significant investment, but also presents an opportunity to protect tenants and make our homes fit for the future.
Join us for SFHA’s annual Energy and Net Zero Conference where we will examine how RSLs can deliver benefits that go beyond carbon emission reductions – helping to tackle the cost of living crisis, support health and wellbeing, and strengthen communities.
We are very pleased to announce, Dr Alasdair Allan, Acting Minister for Climate Action will be addressing the Energy and Net Zero Conference 2024.
