Sustainable Business
As a business, you hold much more power than an individual. From your staff through to your stakeholders, supply chain, business networks and customers your influence spreads far and wide and we would LOVE to see every small - medium sized business across our region taking their responsibility seriously and driving change where they can. There is NO business on a dead planet.
There are many ways you can reduce your impact on the local and global environment and we can help you.
Sign up to build sustainability into your business
Our Sustainable Business Resource (SBR) is on a mission to support and encourage Small and Medium Sized Enterprises to improve sustainability throughout their business.
We provide a bespoke consultancy service led by our business sustainability specialist. They will complete a sustainability audit of your business and provide tailored solutions with actionable points that will help you to improve business practice, in order to help save the planet, and save you money in the process.
Become an approved Plastic Free Business champion!
Plastic Free Communities is a Surfers Against Sewage community network tackling single-use plastic from beaches & green spaces all the way back to the brands and businesses who create it.
Businesses can work towards a Plastic Free Champion award by rethinking their impact and removing avoidable single use plastics from their business.
There is a Plastic Free Business Toolkit and dashboard that you can follow and there are three award levels, Champion, Silver and Gold. It’s up to you how many awards you go for.
Earth Action North Devon can help you with this process, share your success and connect you with a wider network, but you will need to sign up on the Plastic Free Communities website first to get started.
Tourism Businesses
The large number of visitors to North Devon each year presents both a threat to the environment, through the pressure of sheer numbers, and a fantastic opportunity to engage a large audience of visitors and locals.
We have created a variety of resources and ideas for tourism businesses of all shapes and sizes to connect with guests but also help businesses with their sustainability.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) & Group Volunteering
We’re able to offer more structured CSR days for your business. We have a selection of options that can be tailored to suit you - it could be a talk followed by an activity, a nature walk and talk, a community clean or something completely different. Just get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to find the right package for your business.
