Transformation is becoming a necessity
Sustainability in business has reached a tipping point. What was once a niche concern has become a key part of mainstream business strategy and operations. We are a business network that shares practical guidance on implementing sustainability strategies and showcases green technology solutions, enabling members to:
- cut emissions, increase efficiency and lower costs,
- use ESG data to win new business,
- develop sustainability skills and culture.
We enable members to
Cut emissions, increase efficiency, lower costs
By tackling key areas such as energy, transport, waste, supply chains and operational behaviour, companies can make significant progress in reducing their carbon footprint, which can help lower costs and improve efficiency.
At member events we run practical skills workshops, study visits and green technology showcases – solutions in these key areas.
Use ESG data to win new business
Presenting climate action and ESG data about your company and holding the right credentials is increasingly a prerequisite for competing more effectively and growing your business.
We want to enable our members to respond confidently to public and private tenders, supplier questionnaires, grant applications and green finance applications – so that sustainability becomes an enabler, not a barrier.
As well as taking part in workshops, members have access to free and discounted tools and services that help with this process.
Develop sustainability skills and culture
Building in-house sustainability skills and a proactive culture saves time and money. It enables smarter decisions and helps you get more value from any external expertise you use.
Our training partnerships focus on giving members practical skills and useful qualifications in sustainability.
Become a Techies Go Green member
Sustainability is now a key part of every business. Whether you own a business, work in operations or marketing, or want to be a sustainability pioneer in your workplace – membership can help you achieve your goals.
Be part of a thriving network of over 900 members who meet online and at events to learn, share ideas, spread good practice, build relationships and find opportunities to lead the way to a greener, more sustainable future.
THE BUSINESS TIME’s view
For a Polish business in the UK, sustainability is no longer a fashion – it has become a condition of market access. Large customers increasingly send subcontractors emissions questionnaires, and central government procurement requires larger suppliers to have a Carbon Reduction Plan. A company that can show its data wins – one that cannot often falls at the first hurdle.
Techies Go Green gives small and medium-sized businesses what is usually available only to large ones: free membership, a free carbon footprint calculator for the first year, a free ESG platform, discounts on accredited training and access to experts. The network is based in Dublin, but its webinars, workshops and tools are available online – including from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Our role is simple: as a signatory, we guide Polish businesses through the whole process – in Polish – and add what the network does not do: websites, social media, company formation, accounting and data protection.
