The Green Network for Businesses is a powerful resource to improve your business’s sustainability. It’s an online database of over 300 businesses, charities and organisations across Scotland taking effective steps to reduce their environmental impact.
Whether you’re thinking about cutting energy use, reducing waste, engaging with staff or another type of sustainability project, the growing community of members are happy to help.
Their case studies are packed with practical tips and ideas to take the next step including:
- What the member did
- Why they did it
- Where they went to for advice
- Which installers/contractors they used and how they’d rate them
- How much they spent
- How the projects have benefited their business
- Words of wisdom
Not only that but many members are contactable through the website, and some are happy to host a visit to showcase what they have done.
Start your journey by entering a postcode and search filters to find member projects near you.

What you’ll get
There are lots of benefits. We like to think that the biggest one will come from leading by example, sharing experience, and inspiring others. But there are lots of other benefits too.
How to join
It’s free and simple, just follow these steps:
- Get in touch – email gnfb@businessenergyscotland.org to request a short questionnaire. You’ll be asked about the most important things that other businesses want to know about: what you did, how did you do it, how much it cost and how has it benefited your business.
- Sign off your case study – they’ll use your responses to create an online case study, highlighting your achievements and helping others learn from your experiences.
- Start benefiting – congratulations! Once your case study is online, you’re officially a member. You’ll receive a membership pack to help you promote your story, and a membership logo to highlight your green credentials through your website, assets or collateral.
