If you're a business owner or leader of an organisation in Manchester, the Bee Net Zero partnership want to help you become greener, save money on your energy bills and prepare for a greener future.
There is a huge amount of support out there for companies looking to become more sustainable, and its hard to know where to turn. Therefore, we wanted to bring all of the local support together, creating a single source of advice that the Greater Manchester business community could trust.
Our partnership has created the most comprehensive support network of any city-region to ensure that our business community has the confidence and guidance needed to become greener.
No matter what size, sector or steps your business has already taken to become more sustainable, the wealth of advice and expertise from Bee Net Zero partners from across Greater Manchester can ensure you're doing the right thing for your organisation and for the planet, helping you save money and implement the right solutions.
Greater Manchester has a target to become carbon neutral by 2038, but the region cannot achieve this if businesses are not on board. We have a huge challenge ahead of us, and it's one that we can only solve by working together.
Greater Manchester's CO2 emissions equate to about 3.6% of total UK annual CO2 emissions and contribute to global climate change.
To put Greater Manchester on a path to carbon neutrality by 2038 we need to deliver an annual average of 15% cuts in emissions.
Business emissions count for roughly 1/3 of Greater Manchester's total carbon emissions.
Greater Manchester has over 124,000 businesses, if they all made steps to become greener it could make a huge difference.
