Suffolk Start-Up Programme: The Journey to Net Zero

Suffolk Start Up The Journey to Net Zero

This is one of the elective options on the Suffolk Start Up Programme for clients located in either East, West, Mid Suffolk or Babergh council areas only.

Hosted by MENTA’s experienced trainers via Zoom, the live session aims to increase your knowledge and awareness of the importance of Net Zero for your business and produce a carbon management plan for your business so that you can reduce waste, save on costs, promote your business, and improve your chances of applying for funding.

The Journey to Net Zero training will be split into the following sessions:

1.     Explain what is meant by ‘carbon neutral’ and other key terms

2.     Describe why it is important for small and medium businesses to reduce their carbon footprint

3.     Calculate the carbon footprint of your business

4.     Create a carbon management plan

5.     Be able to demonstrate your green credential

Your trainer will be happy to field your questions “on air” or in the live chat room and there will be breaks during the session for you to boil the kettle!

Please note that for the best experience we recommend a laptop or tablet.
