Helping businesses in Cambridge, Huntingdonshire, and South Cambridgeshire transition to Net Zero
Open to small and medium-sized enterprises (3 to 250 employees), including limited companies and sole traders, with commercial premises in Cambridge, Huntingdonshire, or South Cambridgeshire.
The Green Business Impact Programme aims to support local SMEs in their efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of their operations, to understand which activities to prioritise to have a higher impact on reducing their carbon footprint, to embed sustainability into business operations and integrate climate change into decision making.
Organisations will be supported to understand their current carbon emissions and develop a 5 year Net Zero roadmap to help facilitate their sustainability journey. We are dedicated to helping you through this process.
