Newham BID has a long-term vision to make Newham Industrial Estate one of the ‘greenest’, most energy efficient industrial estates in the South-West leading the way towards achieving net zero. Some of our businesses have already taken a proactive stance by implementing measure to ‘reduce, recycle and reuse; in their own workplaces (click for case studies of 7 different businesses across the estate - scroll down website page for case studies). Newham BID has also undertaken landscaping, participated in litter picks and organised climate literacy training.
We are interested in finding out what other Newham businesses are doing to reduce their carbon footprint or what their appetite might be to do so in the future. In tough economic times, we appreciate that there may be barriers to tackling the ‘green agenda’ including cost, knowledge, time etc and want to understand if these barriers can be overcome perhaps through the support of other businesses or other sources of advice.
