We are about People, Planet and Purpose
Devon & Plymouth Chamber of Commerce is built around three core principles that support our vision for a truly green Blue & Green Economy that we can all thrive in.
People is about inclusive recruitment, employment, skills, education and training.
Planet is about achieving Net Zero, working towards Sustainable Development Goals, clean growth and transport.
Purpose is about doing business that has positive social impact, creates employment and sustainable growth.
Where these intersect is ‘good business’, which is proven to be productive and profitable, and the Chamber intends to be at the heart of that
