This pledge is designed to build on the commitments made through the original Green Growth Pledge, allowing businesses to review previous actions, adapt strategies, and explore new opportunities for continual improvement.

Welsh businesses adopting the Green Growth Pledge Plus can assess their progress from the first pledge, identify inefficiencies, and further enhance the steps they have already taken to improve sustainability and reduce emissions. By doing so, they can strengthen their carbon reduction efforts and continue moving forward in their sustainable journey.

In today’s rapidly changing world, it’s essential for businesses to regularly review their sustainability actions to stay relevant, competitive, and responsible. The Green Growth Pledge Plus offers businesses more ways to take action on reducing waste, improving resource use, and allows owners to discover new opportunities
for cost savings.

We are committed to calculating the business’ emissions through the Green Growth Calculator.

The Green Growth Pledge Plus is a practical way for businesses to demonstrate their positive impact, and show how they can help Wales move towards a low carbon future. By signing the Pledge, your company is committing to take action.

This document is a positive step towards demonstrating commitment to one of the pillars of the Economic Contract, which encourages Welsh businesses to become carbon light or free.
