- access new markets by developing sustainable products and services
- protect reputation and credibility
- be prepared for future changes and policies which affect your organisation
- attracting staff and improving morale – having a strong ethos of sustainability is increasingly important to employees

- Suggesting ways to cut emissions from digital services
- Encouraging ‘circular economy’ business models
- Engaging businesses with the council’s goal to become a carbon neutral district this decade
