Is your business going green in the New Year? With a new year quickly approaching, many business owners will be thinking about their priorities. Why not include becoming more sustainable? We all have a responsibility to tackle climate change, and, with a volatile energy market, now's a great time to invest to save and make a positive change towards a better future. With our Green Business Loan Scheme, we’re investing in businesses that want to grow sustainably and contribute to a low carbon society that supports social and economic resilience. But that’s not all. We’ve also supported 13 small scale renewable projects managed by community groups, social enterprises, and SMEs through our Local Energy Fund. And for developers looking to adopt greener development practices, we’ve got the Green Homes Incentive to progress good quality, sustainable and energy-efficient homes.
