Green Economy is a social enterprise supporting businesses across the UK to cut carbon, reduce costs and drive business growth as the country transitions to a low‑carbon, climate‑ready economy.
We work in partnership with local government, and directly with businesses providing expert, impartial services that deliver carbon savings and commercial growth.
Our vision is a net zero carbon economy that delivers prosperity, inclusivity and opportunities for businesses and communities.
Our mission is to accelerate net zero by simplifying corporate and industrial decarbonisation, whilst removing the barriers linked to slow and low adoption of green tech and environmental products and services.
Businesses that reduce their carbon footprint can build resilience and increase financial security and competitive advantage by creating greater security around their consumption of greenhouse gases. Green Economy’s services have helped businesses to save more than two million tonnes of CO2e since 2013. Our sustainability, net zero and carbon footprint specialists work with businesses across multiple sectors to implement environmental strategies that aligns with their growth plans to ensure sustained high performance.
Simultaneously, we address the market failures around the low uptake of low carbon technologies by working with business leaders to demystify the technological solutions to the net zero opportunity. Our ambition is to increase confidence and access to the low carbon goods and services sector so that procuring green products and services isn’t just the right choice, it is also the easiest choice.
We're committed to delivering the best experience for our members and to advocate for the businesses and technologies that will deliver the transition to net zero.
To help us do this, we've established an Advisory Board that will help us shape the journey.
The green economy is defined as one that invests into businesses, infrastructure and assets that benefit the planet, reducing the risk of environmental harm and climate change. At Green Economy our vision is to raise the profile of businesses that provide net zero solutions to increase investment in green technologies and services.
