Stevenage Borough Council and social enterprise Wenta join forces to support SMEs to net zero

Stevenage Borough Council has recently partnered with social enterprise firm Wenta to support 100 local businesses in reducing their carbon footprint through Wenta’s new affordable net zero emissions service for small businesses.

Small and medium sized businesses in Stevenage now have the chance to snap up a free, Zero Gold subscription (worth over £143 per year) to the new Net Zero service that will position them at the forefront of tackling climate change and producing greener products and services.

The first 100 businesses to subscribe will get access to Wenta’s top level subscription, Zero Gold, which is aimed at helping business owners to reduce their carbon footprint in a simple and practical way. The Zero Gold subscription normally costs £9.99 per month plus VAT. It includes exclusive climate change and net zero webinars to explain what it’s all about and how to reduce your carbon footprint, access to Wenta’s experienced net zero and business advice team to coach you through each step of your journey, access to Wenta’s exclusive carbon foot-printing tool, a personalised report focused on reducing your emissions as well as coaching to create and publish your net zero plan, plus much more.

Action Zero forms part of Stevenage Borough Council’s work to get the town to net zero emissions by 2030 to defeat the climate emergency at a local level. It also forms part of Wenta’s wider social enterprise support provided at the Business & Technology Centre on Bessemer Drive where free business advice, skills training and affordable workspace is available. Action Zero is led by former Visiting Professor of Environmental Economics at UCL and Wenta’s Head of Net Zero, Martyn Poessinouw.

The offer of Wenta’s Zero Gold subscription forms part of the council’s measures to help businesses adapt to cut their emissions to get the town to net zero by 2030. Action Zero aims to support every type of small business owner and is packed with sustainable, social and commercial benefits.
