Sustainability grants can help you reshape your business strategy—here's why you should be taking advantage of them. Surrey’s new sustainability grants are a perfect example of how local support can make all the difference. These grants enable businesses to adopt eco-friendly practices, especially when upfront costs might feel like a barrier to entry. And it's not just Surrey... Similar grants are accessible to businesses across the UK. Local councils are increasingly offering funding to support sustainable transitions—making it easier to go green without the perceived financial headache. Here are a few reasons why you should explore local grants: 🌱 Funding makes the shift to sustainability more of an opportunity than a challenge. 🌱 Brands that commit to eco-friendly practices attract more environmentally conscious customers. 🌱 Savings from sustainable practices often far outweigh the initial costs—and grants can help ease those early expenses. Local councils are always introducing new incentives for small businesses to go green. Don’t let cost hold you back—the benefits of going green will always outweigh the risks of not adapting to the rapidly growing green market.

This week's report into sustainability professionals is a must-read for anyone who works (or would like to work) in sustainability in NZ. It was great to see soft skills like relationship building, ability to influence, communication skills and leadership topping the list of key enablers for progression as a sustainability professional. As a generalist working in sustainability, I am always in awe of, but often intimidated by the experts. But this report proves the importance of having a ‘people -person’ like me on the team. Someone who can bring people together through collaboration, network and inspire others, share their passion and make it fun. I love having a job with purpose.
