We’re committed to reducing West Yorkshire’s carbon emissions to net zero by 2038 at the latest. Businesses will play a vital role in this transition.

Green strategies can help companies to become more efficient, competitive and resilient. Yet it can be hard to know where to start. This series of breakfast briefings aims to equip small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with the information they need to plan for a greener future.

Support for Businesses

By attending an event, you will learn about the support options available to your business such as:

  • Measuring your environmental impact and understanding how climate change might affect your operations.
  • Ensuring you attract, develop and retain a greener, healthier and inclusive workforce.
  • Taking steps like installing energy efficient equipment or flood resilience measures.
  • Accessing research and academic expertise to enhance your business.

There will also be an opportunity to learn from other businesses about their green journeys and network over a free breakfast at the face-to-face events.
