Why does my business need to change? 

Not only has the UK committed to becoming net zero by 2050, it also has a legally binding commitment to make meaningful change towards this target by 2030, which includes a shift away from fossil fuel powered boilers and cars. Here are just some of the ways that businesses can make a difference to achieve this target.

Decarbon06

Decarbonising your workplace

Eliminating or reducing your businesses reliance on carbon will not only save your business money, but will also help you to offer more competitive pricing, and could provide access to new supply chains.

Green Economy works with businesses to measure and benchmark your carbon footprint, presenting you with an action plan of priorities that will reduce your energy use and eliminate unnecessary consumption. We can help you understand your environmental obligations and implement a carbon reduction plan which will save your business money and improve your credibility with customers. We can recommend energy consulting or energy management technology that will help you to manage this in the long term. In addition, we can also help you to understand renewable energy, sustainable heating and other green technologies which can reduce your reliance on increasingly volatile energy markets.

Eco Innovation

Eco Innovation
Understanding the full lifecycle of your products and services forms an essential part of developing your carbon footprint but also offers a competitive advantage as increasing numbers of consumers and large businesses look to work with providers that offer more sustainable solutions.

Our teams can work with you to consider the carbon footprint of your products and services and help you to embed sustainability in product and service design.

sustain04

Sustainable procurement
Once you understand the potential for your net zero transition, Green Economy can work with you to help implement that plan. We can help demystify green technologies, advise on likely return on investment and connect you to local, trusted experts to assist with feasibility and installation. We can help you secure buy-in from board, c-suite or financial directors, and help you to influence landlords or property managers of the long-term impact that solar panel installation and heat pump installation can have on the value of a property. We can also connect you to green finance or funding opportunities that will support capital expenditure and decision making.

Deliver11

Delivering sustainable projects
There is an increased demand to decarbonise existing infrastructures across transport, housing, buildings and communications networks. This is achieved by retrofitting existing systems to improve their efficiency and utilising smart technologies to futureproof their sustainability in the long term. In addition, new developments are under increased scrutiny to ensure that sustainable construction methods are utilised during the planning, development and operation stages. Green Economy can support these projects by understanding the capabilities of decarbonising major infrastructure projects and connecting you to subcontractors that can deliver for you.
