Stockport Council opens consultation with businesses on achieving carbon neutrality

Stockport Council has launched a consultation with businesses in the borough on the Stockport CAN initiative to meet carbon neutrality targets.

In March 2019, Stockport Council declared a climate emergency and agreed to become carbon neutral by 2038. With this declaration, the council committed to play its part to reduce carbon emissions to zero net emissions, and encourage the rest of the borough to play its part.

As part of this consultation, Stockport Council want to hear directly from businesses within Stockport and have a separate consultation to enable them to capture this feedback. The Climate Change – Business consultation can be found at this link.

Stockport Council make up only 5% of the borough’s emissions, making it essential that everyone plays their part to help Stockport achieve carbon neutrality by 2038.

The consultation closes on 4th September to ensure responses can be included in a report to council members in September.
