HOW WE WORK

  • Research and promote easy ways to measure your carbon footprint and practical projects to reduce it.

  • Support Active Travel’ and other initiatives encouraging people to cycle or walk to work.

  • Actively lobbying East Sussex County Council, and Eastbourne Borough Council for a local Transport Strategy to ensure we can reduce car dependency in our town.

  • Liaise with business organisations such as the Chamber of Commerce, Business Improvement District (BID) and Eastbourne Hospitality Association.

Our Action

Workplace Group works with workplaces inspiring and helping them to reduce their carbon emissions, switch to renewable energy sources and work in a way which is more friendly to our environment.

From the consultancy on organising your work remotely to the green transport options, our goal is to help local employers & their staff implement solutions that help us all achieve a carbon-neutral Eastbourne by 2030.

Current Activity

Our current activities include:

  • Smart Savings

    With one of the UK’s leading tech entrepreneurs, we are developing a free smart way you can pledge, measure and reduce your carbon emissions and energy consumption, saving money in the process. The project is aimed initially at SMEs with less than 50 employees, with Eastbourne being the first UK pilot.

  • Remote Working & Alternative trasport

    We’re encouraging employers and staff to leave the car at home at least once per week, and find an alternative way to get to work.

  • Zero Carbon Deliveries

    In partnership with TechResort CIC, we are working to create a zero carbon delivery options, using electric cargo bikes or vehicles, that can further reduce carbon emissions across the town.
