MAKE THE COMMITMENTA business opportunity like no other
Businesses of all sizes around the UK are committing to do their bit to cut carbon emissions and protect the planet. The UK government has partnered with business owners and respected climate groups to help you join them today.
How could your business make a difference?
No matter how small your business, what industry or part of the UK you’re in, your commitment could make a real difference – to the planet, to your customers and to your running costs! Even the smallest businesses produce carbon emissions – it could be through your building, your vehicles or your suppliers. We’re asking you to take the first step on your journey, by committing to cutting those carbon emissions in half by 2030 and to reach ‘net zero’ by 2050. Net zero means that you are putting no more carbon into the atmosphere than you are taking out of it.
What happens when you make the commitment?
When you take the first step by making a commitment, we’ll get in touch with tools to help you understand your emissions, how to tackle them, and how to share what you’re doing with your customers and community. And in the following months we’ll keep you up to date with ideas, support and incentives to help you meet your commitment.
Become one of the thousands of small business climate leaders across
the UK and commit today!
Top reasons to join us:
Grow your business
It can be hard to think as far as 2030 when we’re all building back from coronavirus. But cutting emissions can save your business money and give you a competitive advantage today. By joining us, you can display our logo, attracting the growing number of customers for whom climate change really matters.
Future-proof your business
The UK is changing. For example, by 2030 you won’t be able to buy new petrol and diesel cars and vans in the UK, while zero-emission vehicles could support 40,000 jobs. By joining you will be sent regular updates so you can stay on top of these changes and make sure your business is ready.
Be part of the solution
We all want to create a better planet, but it can be hard to know where to start. Through this UN-backed commitment process, you’re joining an international community of thousands of like-minded businesses. As part of this, you will get regular newsletters and information from government to support you through your journey.
Steps you can take to cut your emissions
Going greener might look different for every business, but there are steps you can take whether you’re just starting out or further along the road to zero emissions.
Start off by educating yourself on why sustainability is good for business, how to start your journey and where to use sustainability measures to engage employees and customers, with a free Google Digital Garage training session.
