SUPPORTING THE CORPORATE DECARBONISATION OF TRAFFORD PARK

Trafford Park is the largest industrial park in Europe and a major contributor to Greater Manchester’s economy, but it is also the single largest carbon emitter across the city-region. Bee Net Zero | Trafford Park is a new partnership between Trafford Council, Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the Growth Company, which aims to support businesses on the park to reduce their emissions and improve efficiency.

 

WHY DO BUSINESSES NEED TO DECARBONISE?


Business accounts for around a fifth of all carbon emissions and as such has an important role to play in supporting Greater Manchester’s net zero target of 2038. But this isn’t just good for the planet! Businesses that reduce their carbon footprint can achieve multiple commercial benefits including:

Improved cashflow

Resilience

Increased competitiveness

New customers

New technologies

Attract and retain talent
