Sustainable development is about promoting environmental, social and economic wellbeing all at the same time. Whilst local businesses play an important part in contributing to the economic wealth of a community, they also have a role to play in the protection of the environment and in considering their social responsibility. With issues such as climate change becoming more and more important, there has never been a better time for your business to become more sustainable.
Knowing where to start or what to do can be difficult. We have therefore put together some useful advice and information on the following issues:
- climate change and energy
- waste and recycling
- local environmental issues
- the council's graffiti charter
