New Course available – SMEs: Start your Journey to Net Zero
Written by Joanna CONNELL
Businesses of all sizes are increasingly expected to address their climate impact. And while many recommendations and “quick wins” exist, decarbonisation cannot be reduced to a checklist of isolated actions. Building an effective approach requires understanding your organisation’s actual emissions profile, identifying the most relevant levers for action and defining a strategy tailored to your business environment. For SMEs, however, this process can quickly become overwhelming: limited resources, evolving regulations, customer expectations and growing market pressure all make the low-carbon transition more complex. So where should they even begin?
Starting your journey to Net Zero as an SME
To help SMEs take those first steps, we’ve created the course “SMEs: Start your Journey to Net Zero” – a completely text-based guide designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises as well as their suppliers. It provides practical, actionable guidance to help you overcome the challenges of getting started and build a concrete transition approach adapted to your business reality.
A course specifically designed for SMEs
Created with SME suppliers in mind, our course is particularly suited to those leading decarbonisation efforts within their organisation, offering guidance without requiring large team participation. From understanding emissions and prioritising actions to navigating evolving expectations and defining a realistic pathway, the course addresses the key questions SMEs face on their road to Net Zero. We focus on the practical side of the transition, with detailed explanations, hands-on advice and concrete resources that you can easily refer back to throughout your journey.
