Green Growth Calculator Workshop

Cost: Free

Summary

Join us for a workshop introducing the new Green Growth Calculator, an innovative tool designed specifically to help Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) understand, measure and reduce their carbon footprint while identifying opportunities for sustainable growth on the journey to Net Zero. With sustainability playing an increasingly important role in procurement decisions, the tool will help businesses develop credible Carbon Reduction Plans, meet emerging buyer requirements, and position themselves as suppliers of choice in a low-carbon economy.

 

What will the event cover?

This event will introduce businesses to a practical, easy-to-use calculator that enables organisations to assess their current emissions, identify carbon reduction opportunities, and create tailored carbon reduction plans aligned with their business goals. As environmental expectations continue to grow from customers, supply chains and regulators, SMEs are increasingly looking for straightforward ways to begin or accelerate their sustainability journey.

Attendees will gain insights into the benefits of carbon management, learn how the Green Growth Calculator can support business resilience and competitiveness, and see a live demonstration of the tool in action. The session will also provide guidance on developing achievable carbon reduction plans, accessing relevant support, and turning sustainability ambitions into measurable outcomes.

As sustainability becomes an increasingly important consideration in both public and private sector procurement, businesses that can demonstrate their environmental commitment are often better positioned to access new opportunities. Many tenders now ask suppliers to evidence their approach to carbon reduction, with some requiring a formal Carbon Reduction Plan as part of the bidding process. Developing a clear and credible plan not only helps organisations reduce emissions and identify efficiencies, but can also enhance their competitiveness in the marketplace. The Business Wales Carbon Calculator provides a practical and accessible way for businesses to measure their carbon footprint and produce Carbon Reduction Plans that are compliant with WPPN 006 requirements, helping them become procurement-ready and future-focused.

Whether your business is just starting to explore net zero commitments or looking to strengthen existing environmental initiatives, this event will provide practical tools, expert advice and valuable networking opportunities to help your organisation thrive in the transition to a greener economy.

This event is an excellent opportunity for SMEs to take a practical first step towards achieving their sustainability goals while unlocking the commercial benefits of green growth.
