We do a virtual walk around your premises to better understand energy use, limitations, opportunities, as well as getting an overview of your purchases, supply chain and transport usage.
You will then be issued with a personalised report and a list of potential decarbonisation projects for your consideration along with useful links. This should hopefully help inform your decarbonisation journey and help you decide on your future decarbonisation projects.
The assessment will take the form of a 45 minutes to an hour call.
Once complete, you will have the opportunity to access a business decarbinisation loan of up to ยฃ15,000.
There is no obligation to progress any of the potential projects to a loan application.
The business decarbonisation assessment is operated by Surrey County Council and available to small and medium enterprises (SME) and charities located in participating Boroughs of Woking, Guildford, Waverley, Reigate and Banstead, Spelthorne and Surrey Heath.
