"It will be a team effort across the whole region. We hope this focus on sustainability in the run-up to Earth Day will help as many businesses as possible share the best of Gatwick Diamond's positive environmental impact. By sharing these stories, we can inspire other businesses to follow suit and join the sustainability movement."

With so many companies in the area, Gatwick Diamond Initiative believes that promoting sustainable practices is essential for the long-term health of the environment and the local economy.
