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.

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.

Eastbourne Businesses – What Can You Do?

July 23, 2020

The two biggest uses of carbon are buildings and transport. Energy used in buildings emits 63% of the carbon used in our town. Buildings use energy for electricity for powering lights, computers etc and for heating. Gas heating is in a large percentage of buildings for hot water and heating.

We are looking for more people to come and join our very small team. You don’t have to be an expert about climate change just enthusiastic to find out more and ways to communicate our messages to businesses across Eastbourne. To join the group contact Miles Berkley.
