Kingston Green Business Challenge II - Application & Eligibility Quiz

Kingston-based micro and small-sized businesses with 2 to 100 employees are invited to apply to join the Green Business Challenge II project, which offers free environmental ‘audits’ - helpful assessments of environmental performance and opportunities to improve this - and a prospect to obtain free, internationally recognised environmental certification from Green Mark.

The aim of the project is to help businesses save resources and reduce their operational costs and environmental impact, while enhancing their image, environmental credentials and reputation.

We aim to support 10 to 15 businesses, depending on their size and sector. Participating businesses will receive free advice, guidance and support to achieve a Green Mark Certificate. You can find more information on our website.
