Supporting Bolsover businesses with carbon reduction initiatives to reduce carbon, cut costs and actualise the sustainable business case.
Funded by the East Midlands Combined County Authority and the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), The Bolsover Net Zero Innovation Programme provides a package of free support for businesses in the Bolsover district with their carbon management. We’re delivering a combined approach of bespoke on-site audits, consultancy and carbon management workshops that help you deliver on operational cost saving and cultivate a competitive edge for winning new business with sustainability conscious customers or clients.
Also, join us for our regular sustainability networking events where you’ll have the opportunity to network with peers and hear from senior academics at NTU and industry experts in carbon reduction and sustainability to support your net zero journey..
This package of support is delivered by Nottingham Trent University’s School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment (ADBE) along with the Nottingham Business School (NBS). Both schools provide dedicated expertise in carbon reduction strategies for your business.
This support is available to any SME or Sole Trader with on-site premises in the Bolsover district looking to reduce their operational costs and actualise carbon reduction.
