Over 99% of the UK business community is made up of small-to-medium enterprises, or SMEs, like the coffee shops on this trail.

Over 60% of the UK work-force is employed by one.

All of us interact – more than once a day with – an SME.

This also means that they are a powerful force in our mission to build a brighter, cleaner, more sustainable – Net Zero – future for everyone.

On this site alone we have seen the power that SMEs have when it comes to all aspects of building a sustainable business. From managing supply chains, to implementing zero-waste strategies and engaging with locals. We all have an important role play.

The NetZeroToolkit is a FREE online resource, created by Edinburgh Science, that supports SMEs to build effective carbon reduction strategies. By highlighting eight core components of their operations, businesses can identify, measure and strategically eliminate emissions – aiming for net zero by 2040 (and hopefully having some fun along the way)!

Invite your favourite SME, your employer or our own businesses to sign up to The NetZeroToolkit today!

Our Climate & Sustainability work, including this coffee trail and The NetZeroToolkit, is made possible due to the kind generosity of our supporters who are shown below. We owe them our thanks
