UK Business Climate Hub launches to help SMEs go green

The UK government has launched the UK Business Climate Hub to help Britain’s 5.5 million SMEs save on their business energy bills while reducing their emissions. The aim of the hub is to serve as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for businesses who have yet to start making operational changes in going green, as well as those SMEs looking to grow their existing efforts.
