Helping businesses tackle climate change
Net Zero – The Growth Hub Gloucestershire – Free Net Zero support is available to business in Tewkesbury Borough from the Growth Hub Gloucestershire.
This includes:
Step 1: diagnostic
Meet with sustainability experts to talk all things Net Zero, plot the specific business benefits of going green, and start planning the steps in carbon reduction.
Step 2: carbon audit
Every journey toward Net Zero begins with a Carbon Audit. You’ll participate in three meetings over a three-month period – fully funded – to gather, analyse and visualise emissions across your entire business. At the end of this process, you will have calculated your organisation’s baseline and have ideas about how this could be reduced.
Step 3: sustainability signposting
As your journey unfolds, you will be provided with guidance and signpost to resources designed to help you tackle carbon challenges across your business such as applying for B Corp status, support on addressing standards, environmental measures and life cycle assessments.
