What is Green for Micro?
The objective of the Green for Micro program – a new initiative from the Local Enterprise Offices – is to help prepare small businesses for the low carbon, more resource-efficient economy of the future. This is a FREE program, available to companies with up to ten employees.
Climeaction from Leading Edge Group has been successful in tendering for this work with a number of counties across Ireland. We can deliver this work on behalf of the Local Enterprises Offices from Monaghan, to Dublin City, Meath, Roscommon, Wicklow, Cork City & County, Louth and on a nationwide basis on request.

Why “Green”?
Recent survey results show that 33% of respondents plan to switch to businesses that are doing more about sustainability, while 49% also said they intend to become better informed about the impact their purchasing has on the planet.
It makes good business sense. With climate change, changing regulations, rising resource costs, and changing customer expectations adopting a more eco-friendly approach is the best way forward for the business.
