We have teamed up with South West Procurement Alliance (SWPA) to create a blog post about net zero, what it is and most importantly, how we can help. A phrase we see a lot now, the blog provides a helpful way to break it down and understand the basics.

Join us at SWPA's Social Value Conference and AGM 2024 on Wednesday 12th June, at the Forge, Winslade Manor. The Green Accord will be there to talk about how SMEs in the Southwest can reduce their carbon emissions and costs through the Green Accord scheme and evidence their actions to improve business opportunities. 🌳 Tickets are available here: https://lnkd.in/erjiE7Ch South West Procurement Alliance (SWPA) Winslade Manor Ltd #SWPA #Socialvalue #procurement

Take a look at the blog post we wrote alongside our partners South West Procurement Alliance (SWPA) about #retrofit in the UK! Retrofitting measures such as wall and loft insulation, draught-proofing, upgrading windows to double or triple glazing, and replacing heating systems with low or zero carbon technologies all support decarbonisation and the UK target of #netzero by 2050. If you are a company working in the retrofitting industry, having Green Accord accreditation is a great way to showcase your environmental commitments.
