Net Zero and Sustainability Support

Hertfordshire Growth Hub offers advice and signposting to help Hertfordshire businesses, including manufacturers, make simple, achievable improvements towards better resource use, cost savings and more responsible business practice. The service looks at how a business operates overall and helps identify areas where small changes can have a positive impact, as well as helping businesses that offer greener products or services to strengthen their offer and respond to changing customer expectations. Where a business's needs go beyond general guidance, the Growth Hub connects them to specialist support locally, regionally or nationally, including expert advice, programmes or technical assistance suited to their goals. It also shares relevant events, workshops and webinars to help businesses stay informed and learn from others on a similar journey. The page also highlights retrofit as a growth opportunity, noting demand from around 482,900 Hertfordshire homes needing energy efficiency improvements by 2050, and signposts related local and national resources such as the Hertfordshire Innovation Quarter, Wenta, Action Zero, the UK Business Climate Hub and the SME Climate Hub.
