The climate crisis can be daunting for SMEs who don’t have big teams and budgets to set net zero targets and work out how to get there. We know that from working with SMEs on responsible business for the past 20 years. And we also know SMEs can have a great impact, no matter how small their teams are!
Climate for SMEs: 4 Steps to Action
A free course available exclusively to SMEs operating in the City of London

SMEs taking climate action together

That’s why we’ve created this free course, bespoke for SMEs with a significant proportion of operations in the square mile, to make taking action against the climate crisis accessible and achievable.

Why complete the course?
Businesses play a huge role in the climate crisis. We hear net zero commitments from big businesses, but with SMEs making up 99% of businesses in the City it’s crucial that they come together to take action.
Doing business sustainably is vital for everyone’s future. Working towards net zero carbon emissions will become essential as larger businesses review their supply chains in favour of companies who can demonstrate their progress. The City of London Corporation has committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions across its investments and supply chain by 2040.
This is also really positive for your business. You’ll get more customers, attract brilliant employees, keep them for longer and win more contracts.
