Helping identify low-carbon economic and climate impact opportunities for regional businesses.
Developing a programme of targeted support for key sectors for growth and diversification into these markets, and supporting at-risk sectors to make the transition required.
Encouraging local markets and local sourcing to minimise carbon footprint.
Helping reduce regional business costs and ensuring security of supply. This will be through greater decentralised energy production and efficiency, waste minimisation and reprocessing opportunities. This will be achieved by mapping of energy, heat, waste, grid connections and renewable potential in the region to target development and deployment of low-carbon technology (energy & waste) and developing a regional resource efficiency (energy, waste and water) reinvestment fund.
Helping businesses improve resource efficiency (energy, transport, waste, & water), by reducing their risk through environmental management systems and realising their opportunities to diversify into environmental goods and services markets, through specialist advice and support as an integral element of mainstream business support.”
