Waverley Borough Council has launched an exciting new pilot scheme in partnership with sustainability experts Green Mark, aimed at helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) reduce their environmental impact and grow sustainably.
The Go Green for Business Support Scheme offers local businesses with up to 50 employees the opportunity to gain free access to Green Mark’s internationally recognised Environmental Accreditation. Through this initiative, 15 selected businesses will receive full funding from the Council to participate – making it a unique chance to boost their green credentials at no cost.
Applications open Monday 15 September and will be open for three weeks.
Participating businesses will benefit from a structured framework to assess and improve environmental performance, access to sustainability professions for tailored support as well as downloadable templates, guidance notes and help files. They will also receive a certification pack including badges and certificates for display.
The accreditation process is designed to be accessible and efficient, requiring just 8 -12 hours over six weeks. Businesses will be supported throughout the 12-month journey to achieve measurable improvements in sustainability, reduce energy costs, and enhance customer engagement.
You can find further information and advice for businesses by visiting the business website – Welcome to Waverley for business.
