W&F Council’s Greening Business Scheme

W&F Council have relaunched the Greening Businesses Scheme, offering free carbon audits to local businesses (SMEs).

The scheme is shared on our website – Climate change and natural environment | Westmorland and Furness Council and we are asking local businesses to complete an application form to express their interest in being involved in the scheme.

Is this something you’d be able to share through the BID?

Greening Business Scheme

We’ve launched the Greening Businesses Scheme to support businesses in the Westmorland and Furness area to:

understand and reduce their carbon emissions

cut costs related to their operations and activities.

We’re working with the Cumbria Business Environment Network to provide free carbon assessments, for successful applicants.

How to apply for the Greening Business Scheme

Before applying, please read our guidance on the application process and conditions of our Greening Business Scheme (PDF , 199KB).
