Businesses

Responding to climate change for businesses is a huge opportunity, as well as a challenge.

Through this website, CRed Suffolk aims to provide Suffolk businesses with a one-stop-shop resource for environmental issues.

More and more surveys indicate that a company’s approach to social and environmental issues affects their brand values, consumer base, recruitment, retention of committed staff, and profits.

There are many simple steps that a business can take to reduce its energy use and carbon emissions. If you would like to know more, click on one of the symbols above e.g. energy or water to learn more.

If you would like more advice or help then please contact the Suffolk Climate Change and Energy Helpline on 0800 0288938.

CRed Suffolk has also established a free Environmental Businesses Advisor Service for Suffolk's small and medium sized enterprises to help them address environmental issues. Please ring the Suffolk Climate Change and Energy Helpline above if you are interested in this service and would like to know more.
