Greener Business Grant

You are here: Home > Business > Greener Business Grant

Eligible businesses across West Suffolk can apply for up to £1,000 to carry out work such as insulating their building, replacing heating controls and lighting, or installing more energy efficient alternatives to existing equipment.

The objectives of the grant are to:

reduce the business carbon footprint;
strengthen local business by reducing business energy and fuel bills; and
increase business profile through recognition for their carbon-cutting activities.

Businesses can also participate in a free environmental audit. This service is available for a variety of providers including:

the Suffolk Environmental Business Advisor;
Resource Efficiency East programme run by Renewables East;
Energywise through the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce; and
West Suffolk College, Sustainable Efficiency East progamme.

The project will also act as a lead-in to other support mechanisms to small businesses, including interest free loans to improve energy efficiency available via the Carbon Trust.
