Abstract

The University of Derby has published the ‘Twelve Opportunities’ guides to help SME owners and managers navigate this wealth of support and to celebrate real-life decarbonisation interventions that include examples of carbon reduction, cost saving and clean growth. The guides signal some of the key steps along the pathway to Net Zero and describe examples of how some companies are already innovating in order to be resilient and competitive in the sustainable economy of the future. Together they otfer a route map to decarbonisation, by providing SMEs with a set of tools, resources and inspiration to accelerate their journey towards Net Zero.
