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.
Eliminating or reducing your business's reliance on carbon will not only save money, but will also help you to offer more competitive pricing, and open up 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 technologies 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.
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.
Once you understand your green potential, we can work with you to help implement that plan.
We can 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 on 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.
There is 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.
Demonstrating your commitment to decarbonisation offers a commercial incentive to attract new customers and open up new supply chains. Increasingly commissioners look to work with providers that can meet their ESG objectives, particularly when working with public sector organisations.
Green Economy can help you to develop a robust policy to demonstrate your commitment to external stakeholders, whilst providing a path to follow for your workforce and strategic planning.
Bringing your team with you on your sustainability journey is not only good for morale, but it can also accelerate action for little to no cost. By ensuring your team is bought into your plan, will ensure advocacy with internal and external audiences, implement change at a local level and ultimately help you achieve net zero much faster.
