Carbon Charter

There are plenty of small and medium sized businesses that want to lessen the impact they have on the environment. But there are not many companies that have the resources to make that happen within their staff team. The Carbon Charter exists to fill that gap.

Joining The Carbon Charter means that a business can receive guidance and support in lowering their carbon footprint whilst at the same time achieving an award for their dedication to the environment, attracting new customers with their eco-credential and saving money by having a more efficient business.

Delivered by Groundwork East and overseen by the Environment Agency and Suffolk County Council, The Carbon Charter provides guidance, support, and recognition to small and medium businesses throughout Suffolk and Norfolk as well as the wider region so they can take positive action towards Net Zero.

An award winning project

The Carbon Charter has recently been awarded the prestigious ADEPT award for delivering sustainable growth. This national level award is a clear indication of how the project is helping prepare our society towards a low carbon future.

Do you work for a small to medium business?

If you’re a business looking to move your organisation onto a sustainable path in preparation for the low carbon economy of tomorrow then the Carbon Charter is tailor-made for you.
