Launch


Green Light Programme: Applications now open


Working in partnership with Mabbett and Scottish Enterprise, Glasgow Chamber of Commerce’s Green Business Network is delighted to announce the launch of the 2017 Green Light Programme. This fully funded programme


uses expert help, consultancy and training to guide businesses through the steps and opportunities in developing an Environmental Management System (EMS). Our first Green Light


Programme identified £100,000 in potential annual savings for the 11 Chamber members who participated, with a reduction of over 450 tonnes of carbon per annum. This innovative programme is now open for applications, with the first workshop taking place in January. Green credentials help win


new business and reduce your business costs. Get ahead of the game and give your company the Green Light now. For more information or
