Lincolnshire is making leaps towards sustainability, from its renowned agricultural sector making innovative progress in the use of robotics and vertical farming through to Grimsby’s resurgent future as a renewable energy manufacturing base.
Lincolnshire is well placed to make the most of a worldwide movement towards sustainability, creating well paid jobs and business opportunities across the whole county. While larger corporations have already pledged to streamline their efforts, every business can join the movement. After all, small businesses represent 99% of the UK’s enterprises and employ 60% of the workforce.
Recognising the challenges faced by smaller businesses, Business Lincolnshire is offering fully funded support with its Low Carbon Lincolnshire Programme, which includes a series of workshops for Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland businesses wanting to transition towards sustainability. With mounting pressure to adopt sustainable practices across operations and supply chains, now is the time for SMEs to take action.
Low Carbon Lincolnshire is designed to assist SMEs on their journey towards Net Zero. Delivered by the experienced team at PECT, an environmental charity based in Peterborough, these fully funded workshops and materials are poised to equip businesses with the knowledge and resources they need.
Councillor Davie, Executive Councillor for Economy & Place at Lincolnshire County Council, emphasises the importance of this initiative: “Business Lincolnshire’s Low Carbon Lincolnshire programme offers vital support to our local SMEs.
“These fully funded workshops are a gateway for small businesses in Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland to embrace sustainability and the opportunities it presents. A crucial initiative for a greener and more resilient business landscape in our region.”
Each participating business will undergo a tailored onboarding process to confirm eligibility, ensuring that workshops are tailored to their specific needs.
