UK Business Climate Hub

The UK government has partnered with business owners and respected climate groups to help businesses like you cut carbon emissions and protect the planet.

Whatever size your business or industry you’re in, your commitment could make a real difference – to your business, to your customers, to your community, to the planet – and to your energy bills!

That’s why the UK government has created the UK Business Climate Hub, a campaign that asks UK small businesses of up to 250 employees to join the fight against climate change by committing to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. The Hub has recently been revamped and is now part of the Business Growth Service, offering a range of practical tools and support for businesses.

Even the smallest businesses produce carbon emissions – it could be through your building, your vehicles or your supply chain. The UK government is asking you to commit to cutting those carbon emissions in half by 2030 and to reach ‘net zero’ by 2050. Net zero means that you are putting no more carbon into the atmosphere than you are taking out of it.

When you commit, you’ll get the tools to help you understand your emissions, how to tackle them, and how to share what you’re doing with your customers and your community. This now includes a carbon footprint calculator, sustainability guidance, advice on cutting energy costs, and access to events and resources.

With rising energy costs and growing expectations from customers and supply chains, taking action now can also help improve efficiency, reduce costs and future-proof your business.

Recent findings from the government-backed Willow Review (2025) highlight that many SMEs are already benefiting from sustainable practices through reduced costs, increased customer demand, and improved resilience — reinforcing that sustainability is a commercial opportunity, not just a compliance requirement.

And you can be part of it. Become one of thousands of small business climate leaders across the UK this year and commit today at the UK Business Climate Hub.
