Every business is different. Every sector offers different opportunities to reduce carbon footprints and energy consumption. From manufacturing to retail, there is no one size fits all solution to the challenges faced by individual businesses to become more environmentally friendly.

The guides begin with general tips to reduce the environmental impact of major utilities that micro SMEs are likely to use. This includes Materials, Transport, Water, Energy and Waste and the tips featured should be useful for most small to medium-sized businesses.
Each guide then features sector-specific tips to help businesses create quick wins, medium-term wins and long-term wins.
