Introduction to Target 2050 Business Services
The Target 2050 Business projects form one strand of the overall Target 2050 programme, which was originally developed by Stroud District Council and Severn Wye Energy Agency in 2006. The name Target 2050 is a reference to the UK's target for reducing carbon emissions by 80% by the year 2050, and reflects the long-term view taken by the programme.
Severn Wye's original work with SMEs has since diversified into several streams, and we are now able to offer a range of support services to businesses, varying by geographical area.
As of 2011, the following services are available in Gloucestershire and neighbouring counties:
