Green for Micro

Library of Knowledge No. 61

Good afternoon,

As business owners we have a responsibility to regularly complete reviews of environmental performance and efficiencies.

If this is an area in your business that requires some focus and attention, then the ‘Green for Micro’ programme could well be worth considering.

Green for Micro is a FREE programme that helps small businesses take the first steps towards becoming more sustainable, giving you access to a green consultant who’ll show you the small changes that can have a big impact on your company – and the world around you.

Developing a ‘greener’ policy can offer many benefits to your business, including:

  • Increased cost savings
  • Improved resource efficiency (for example: using less energy, water, and materials)
  • Reduced environmental footprint and greenhouse gas emissions
  • Opportunities for higher and additional value on products and services
  • Increased access to customers, improved corporate image and reputation.
  • Increased resilience to climate change impacts

How does Green For Micro work?

There are two main steps to the Green for Micro programme:

Step 1Watch the Green for Micro Webinar

Learn everything you need to know about Green for Micro supports, including a first-hand account of a business which has already implemented green initiatives and is enjoying the benefits.

Step 2:  Apply for Green for Micro

Apply for two days of mentoring with a specialist Green Consultant – this will include recommendations on specific changes which your business can implement. Your specific needs will be matched to the Green Consultant’s area of expertise.

Your Consultant will prepare a detailed Green for Micro Report on your business.
