Green for Business Clinic – 1 to 1 Session with Centigo – 1 hour

In today’s rapidly changing business environment, sustainability is more crucial than ever. For business owners, adopting sustainable practices can revolutionise operations, leading to improved efficiencies and significant cost savings. To facilitate this transition, the Local Enterprise Office in Carlow County Council is offering Green for Business Clinics, aimed at helping County Carlow SMEs access a range of sustainability support mechanisms.

Clinic attendees will receive comprehensive advice on sustainability projects that can impact their bottom line while also supporting their application for the Green for Business Voucher. This complimentary program is designed to help SMEs embark on their sustainability journey, providing guidance from green consultants on how small, actionable changes can result in significant positive impacts on both the business and the environment.

Embracing a sustainable approach offers numerous advantages. Businesses can experience increased cost savings through more efficient resource use, leading to lower operational costs. Improved resource efficiency, such as reducing energy, water, and material consumption, enhances operational performance. Additionally, reducing environmental footprints and greenhouse gas emissions contributes to a healthier planet, while sustainable practices can enhance the value of products and services. Companies committed to sustainability often gain increased access to customers and enjoy an improved corporate image and reputation. These businesses are also better equipped to withstand the impacts of climate change, ensuring long-term resilience.

The Green for Business program is available to enterprises with 1-50 employees, excluding those engaged in activities deemed ineligible by the Local Enterprise Offices. To qualify, enterprises must be established, registered, and operating within County Carlow. They must operate in the commercial sector, have an annual turnover exceeding €30,000, and have been trading for more than six months.

Following your booking the consultant will be in contact 5 working days prior to the session to finalise your clinic session and provide a link. Sessions will be held online.
