The initiative offers expert guidance, practical tools, and a structured framework designed to help businesses reduce their environmental impact. Successful completion of the programme will result in a recognised environmental accreditation certified by GreenMark, showcasing the businesses' commitment to sustainability.
The scheme aims to assist businesses across the borough in understanding their environmental footprint, implementing measurable steps for reduction, and contributing to a greener Guildford. Businesses can join the programme at any stage of their sustainability journey, with accreditation achievable at their own pace.
“"We know that many businesses want to reduce their environmental impact but may be unsure where to start or how to progress. Through our partnership with GreenMark, the Go Green for Business scheme provides practical support, expert guidance and a recognised accreditation to help businesses take meaningful environmental action. By supporting them to become more sustainable, we're creating a greener and more sustainable borough for all."
Accredited businesses will also benefit from ongoing access to GreenMark environmental advisers for their initial 12-month membership period. The deadline for applications is Monday 30 November, with only 15 places available on the scheme, encouraging early application.
