The objective of the Green for Micro programme - a new initiative from the Local Enterprise Offices - is to help prepare small businesses for the low carbon, more resource efficient economy of the future. This is a FREE programme, available to companies with up to ten employees.
Developing a ‘greener’ policy can offer many benefits to your business, including increased cost savings, improved resource efficiency (eg. using less energy, water and materials ), reduced environmental footprint and greenhouse gas emissions, opportunities for higher and additional value on products and services, improved corporate image and increased resilience to climate change impacts.
How can Green for Micro help?
Avail of advice and technical support covering topics such as resource efficiency, understanding your carbon footprint and implementing an environmental management system. Find out what steps to take to reduce costs and lower your greenhouse gas emissions. As part of the programme, a specialist Green Consultant will make recommendations on specific changes which your business can implement.
The Green for Micro programme is suitable for all micro-enterprises with up to ten employees, but it is particularly suited to businesses in construction and the built environment, retail, manufacturing, textiles and fashion, food, electronics, plastics, and packaging.
