Sustainability Initiative Helps Members Go Green
New programme offers carbon footprint assessments and practical guidance to help local businesses reduce environmental impact.
The chamber's new Sustainability Initiative is helping local businesses reduce their environmental impact while cutting costs and improving their market appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
The comprehensive programme offers:
- Free carbon footprint assessments
- Practical guidance on reducing emissions
- Energy efficiency consultations
- Waste reduction strategies

Twenty businesses have already completed their assessments, with an average identified cost saving of £3,000 per year through energy efficiency improvements alone.
The initiative aligns with our commitment to supporting sustainable business practices and helping our members prepare for the transition to a low-carbon economy.
