These services, offered free of charge, include low carbon transport planning and energy-efficient website design. Additionally, businesses can still take advantage of a complimentary business energy audit, valued at £1,500.
Energy-Efficient Website Design
The energy-efficient website design service is aimed at helping businesses understand and reduce the carbon footprint of their digital presence. This service calculates website carbon emissions, identifies areas for sustainability improvements, and provides actionable recommendations for digital carbon reduction.
Optimising a website’s energy efficiency not only contributes to environmental sustainability but can also enhance user experience and reduce operational costs. SMEs are encouraged to take advantage of this service to make their digital platforms more sustainable.
Low Carbon Transport Planning
The low carbon transport planning service is tailored to help businesses optimise their transportation strategies. Through this service, companies can:
- Minimise unnecessary travel.
