Digital Insight with Richard Garner
According to a recent poll, only 1 in 10 UK-based SMEs measure their carbon footprint, and 1 in 5 don’t fully understand the term ‘net zero’. It’s clear that more support is needed for businesses, to connect the dots and make going green simple, actionable and affordable. That’s where Zellar comes in. Zellar is a groundbreaking sustainability platform that helps businesses track environmental impact, reduce energy bills, offset carbon emissions, and ultimately fight climate change. For this episode, we met Richard Garner, Zellar’s Head of Partnerships who gave us an insight into the fantastic work being done to support local small businesses in making real, positive change.
