Setting up and running a business takes a lot of effort – before you even think about making your practices sustainable.
That’s why we’re here to support you. Whether it’s cutting energy use, managing resources, joining sustainability peer networks or handling waste – we have the tools to help your sustainability journey.
We have a range of educational resources to benefit your business, our region and the planet. You can also access helpful webinars focusing on sustainability challenges, or reach out to us directly for tailored support.
Since April 2023, we have supported many West Yorkshire businesses to make a significant impact through sustainable practices.
There are lots of different ways you can make your business more sustainable. Explore more about different areas of sustainability, or reach out to us directly to get more tailored support.
We’d love to help. Our dedicated Business Sustainability Managers can advise you on where to start and point you to other resources and organisations that might be right for your business.
Without the help, support, and guidance of our Business Sustainability Manager, we would still be floundering trying to build our Sustainability Report. We have now got a robust accurate sustainability report in place which is driving our business actions daily.
David Chappell, Managing Director – Crompton Controls
Support from the Combined Authority has enabled us to take a major step forward in our sustainability journey. The solar PV installation and wider consultancy work have not only reduced our energy costs and carbon emissions, but also created opportunities to engage and educate our visitors about renewable energy and climate action.
Tudor Gwynn, Strategic Projects Director – Eureka!
Thanks to the support from the Combined Authority, we implemented a smart heating system to better manage the heating and cooling of our office. We also accessed specialist consultancy support and emissions reporting software to give us the capacity to take our carbon reporting and reduction processes to the next level. It was a very simple process with real, practical outcomes.
