Net zero

Working our way towards a net zero Scotland

Climate change is one of the greatest threats the world’s population faces. We need to act now in both our personal and professional lives to ensure we are all working towards global net zero targets.

Direct positive impacts for businesses and communities

As well as the benefits to our planet, starting a journey towards net zero can have a direct, positive impact on your business and community. Simple steps like improving energy efficiency, streamlining processes, and reducing waste can also improve your bottom line. You may open the door to new customers, investment, and to fresh talented employees who want to be involved with green enterprises.
