PACKAGING and logistics companies are amongst those being invited to take part in the Highlands and Island Enterprise’s (HIE) TechHUB Net Zero Mobilisation programme.
The initiative is open to small and medium food and drink producers and companies operating in the supply chain in the region, with it aimed at helping businesses cut carbon emissions. Firms have until March 28 to enquire about support.
Keith Masson, HIE’s head of net zero transition, said it will help businesses to cut costs, improve efficiency, and win more business. He added, “If you’re a food and drink producer or work in the supply chain and looking to get started on the net zero journey, this could be right up your street.
“By adopting sustainable practices, which are often low cost or free, SMEs can lower environmental impacts, enhance productivity, and create a leaner, more agile business.
“As larger client organisations ramp up their sustainability commitments, SMEs working towards net zero can be much better placed to secure lucrative contracts. Consumers too are increasingly voting with their wallets, favouring businesses that align with their values.”
