Businesses have an important part to play in helping Warrington become a more sustainable and climate-resilient place. The Warrington Race to Zero project supports businesses by providing:

• Grant support, which is available for businesses committed to reducing their carbon emissions
• Funded support, to help businesses develop energy-saving strategies and work towards net zero
• Energy audits, which are tailored reviews for businesses using large amounts of energy to find ways to cut down their carbon footprint.

As part of the project, businesses are invited to attend the event, "Save Money, Boost Sales, and Get Your Head Around Net Zero”, on Wednesday 25 September at 9.30am, held at the EngineRooms, Birchwood Park. 

The event will provide practical advice on how to create effective action plans for reducing emissions, and accessing support for net zero initiatives. It is also an opportunity for local businesses to gain knowledge, explore financial opportunities, and learn practical steps to embark on their net zero journey. 

This Warrington Race to Zero initiative is supported by the council, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and delivered by sustainable business experts Groundwork.

Warrington Borough Council’s cabinet member for climate change, sustainability and the environment, Cllr Hitesh Patel, said: “Adopting sustainable practices will set your business up for success in a rapidly evolving, environmentally conscious world. 

“This event will simplify what can often be a complex subject, providing you with the support needed to develop an effective action plan to reach your Net Zero goals, and I’d encourage all local businesses to attend.”
