Cut Carbon, Save Costs: An SME’s guide to Sustainability and Net Zero

SMEs account for around 99% of the UK business population and as such have a vital role to play in sustainability and reaching climate change targets.

We recognise that many businesses want to improve their energy efficiency & lower their carbon footprint but face challenges or obstacles in getting started such as lack of skills & knowledge, perceived cost, fear of low return on investment, lack of time due to competing priorities and more.

This webinar will raise awareness of some of the low-cost, easy to install/implement technologies that can be made to your buildings that could help the business reduce costs, perform more efficiently as well as making a positive contribution to climate change.

You will see some market-validated solutions from some of the companies that we work with as well as hearing about available funding through our Energy Accelerator project.

The Energy Innovation Agency (the Agency) is accelerating Greater Manchester’s transition to a low-carbon economy by supporting energy innovators to scale and grow their businesses and connecting them with GM businesses to help overcome their energy challenges.
