Our Goals
The UK Government has committed to reduce the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions by 100% from 1990’s levels by 2050. This would mean the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by the UK would be equal to or less than the emissions removed by the UK from the environment.
We recognise that we can achieve this goal together, our aim is to deliver what you need to ensure that your business is equipped with industry standard training, a knowledgeable workforce, and a strategy to reach Net Zero.
What We’re Doing
- We provide upskilling opportunities for Net Zero Technologies to businesses, organisations, and individuals to support you to become carbon neutral.
- We provide a comprehensive hub of Net Zero information, resources, and news.
- We grant access to funding sources to allow you to upskill at minimal cost.
