Somerset Council Green Business Support

Released On 24th Nov 2023

The Somerset Council is asking everyone who runs a business in Somerset to consider ways in which their business can help tackle climate change. Reducing the amount of energy that a business uses leads to a lower carbon footprint and reduced energy costs. Reducing carbon emissions will help Somerset to achieve its goal of being carbon neutral by 2030.

In order to support businesses with this, we are developing a Somerset Green Business Support Scheme to include a Green Business Network, Green Business Grants and an energy efficiency support ‘Go Green Scheme’. There will also be a series of Greening Your Business workshops this autumn, jointly arranged with Somerset Chamber and Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).

What can my business do?

Organisations across Somerset are taking action to tackle climate change. There are many opportunities for businesses to reduce carbon emissions and lower energy costs. Improving energy efficiency has never been more important and taking action now can have long lasting benefits for Somerset, our businesses and supply chains.
