Business Durham are working with the BEEP Project supporting energy efficiency work across businesses in the County.
Business Durham, as a member of the County Durham Economic Partnership, is working with the Business Energy Efficiency Project supporting energy efficiency work across businesses in the County. Some businesses are already leading the way.
Laying the foundations for 2030
Businesses have developed plans to decarbonise and are actively sharing learning and putting measures in place to reduce energy consumption and increase locally generated power. A partnership approach enables growth in local green technologies and skills.
County Durham’s Vision for 2045
All businesses and industries will have implemented a decarbonisation plan, and most will have achieved net zero emissions, offsetting where emissions are unavoidable.
Support for businesses to reduce carbon emissions
Durham County Council is committed to working in partnership with organisations across the county through the climate agreement to ensure that County Durham is a great place to live and work.
