Sustainable Peterborough Business Initiative

A business-to-business network supporting Peterborough enterprises as we work together towards the Economic Development & Employment goals, strategic direction and priority actions outlined in Sustainable Peterborough. SPBI Terms of Reference.

Objective: to educate, motivate and empower local businesses to become more sustainable.

  2. Motivate: inspire local SMEs by highlighting benefits and utilizing local success stories
  3. Empower: provide local SMEs with the tools to move towards sustainability
