Green Business Impact Programme info event (Cambs and Huntingdonshire)

Are you based in Cambridge, South Cambridgeshire or Huntingdonshire? Join this webinar to go green and grow your business!

Businesses across the country are joining the green movement to gain economic benefits and protect the environment. The UK government is committed to transforming all sectors of the UK economy to meet the Net Zero target by 2050, meaning companies emit no more carbon than they absorb.

The Green Business Impact Programme is a fully-funded support programme to help businesses become more energy efficient and reduce their carbon emissions. Simple steps like switching to LED lighting, improving insulation, reducing waste, or changing transport can make a big difference to your business and the environment.

Who is this programme for?
The programme is open to small and medium-sized enterprises, including charities, limited companies and sole traders, with commercial premises in Cambridge, Huntingdonshire, or South Cambridgeshire.

Why participate?
A team of sustainability experts will work with local SMEs to help measure their current environmental impact, understand which activities to prioritise to significantly reduce their carbon footprint, and adopt eco-friendly, sustainable practices.

Participation in the programme is completely free and comes with an opportunity to apply for a £5000 grant to invest in energy-efficient equipment. The grant is match-funded, meaning participant will have to match 50% of the amount received.
