The Solent LEP is aiming to support businesses in the wider region towards their journey to Net Zero in the following ways:

• A specific Sustainable Business Programme to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who are unsure where to start, or even unaware of how a shift to a more sustainable strategy can help their business.

• A wealth of information and support that can be found on our Green and Sustainable Business Hub.

• A Ten Point Plan for Building Back Greener in the Solent, where we have set out some key goals; the Plan highlights the innovation capabilities, track record and enterprise in the region that will drive a Green Industrial Revolution in the Solent.

• There is a short article about the Go to Zero project that supports businesses to go electric.

The Solent Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) is launching a new Sustainable Business Support Programme to coincide with COP 26, designed to help incorporate sustainability into your strategy, and engage your workforce in its implementation.

The programme will provide tailored support from a sustainability advisor who will work with you in building a Sustainability Action Plan for your business, including identifying key risk areas and mapping the actions required to overcome them. 

All small and medium sized business in the Solent region who are committed to lowering their carbon emissions are invited to start their Net Zero journey with us now.
