Supporting a Green transition for Local Business

As we emerge from this pandemic, there is an increasing sense across communities, business and government that we need to seize the moment, to address the climate and environmental emergency, and that there are big opportunities for business in delivering a green recovery and supporting the "green" transition of our society.

This brief survey has been developed by Redhill & Reigate Climate Action Group* to understand, the appetite of local businesses to "build back better", creating a greener future for our borough while realising business opportunities. Through the survey we hope to help catalyse change through initial discussions, identifying best practice and making connections where appropriate.

The survey takes only a couple of minutes and all data will be either anonymised and incorporated into an overall report or, where permission is given, used in possible discussions with the business providing it.

*Redhill & Reigate Climate Action Group (https://www.climateactionrr.com/ ) is a non-partisan local group that aims to facilitate and support a green transition for the borough through local community action and working with partners
