To guide 1 million Small businesses to Net Zero by 2025.
“99% of businesses in the UK are small and existing guidance isn’t accessible for them to take action. Many existing organizations and government agencies focus their efforts on advising large multinationals. This has meant small businesses are often overlooked, yet together can make a huge contribution to reducing the carbon output of the UK economy. 99% of businesses in the UK are under 49 employees.”
– Adam Bastock, Founder of Small99
