We have created a new ‘Supporting your business to be carbon neutral’ webpage signposting businesses to relevant funding, training, carbon footprint calculators and more. A jargon-busting glossary is also included.

What’s more, a new video series is launching to help inspire local businesses to become more sustainable. This series showcases relatable case studies from other local businesses, including top tips and quick wins such as switching lighting and considering investing in solar panels.

Keep an eye out on the Council’s social media pages and webpages for the videos.
