A new support programme has been launched to help businesses across Torbay to reduce their carbon emissions and save money on their energy bills.
Local businesses of all sectors and sizes are encouraged to take part in the fully funded programme. Participating businesses will benefit from a bespoke package of support to help them assess their current carbon impact, identify bespoke actions to reduce their impacts and hopefully save money. A decarbonisation plan for making it all happen will also be produced, making it as easy as possible for businesses to implement their ideas.
Participating businesses also have the potential of being awarded grant funding to support their decarbonisation plans and introduce energy saving measures. For example, a business could receive a grant to install energy efficient lighting or part fund a new heat pump.
The Make it Net Zero Torbay programme is being delivered by manufacturing and business development company SWMAS who will be working closely with local businesses to develop their decarbonisation plans as they work towards a net zero future.
