“We’re finalists for two awards and it’s because of the evidence from our Climate Springboard action plan.”

Shona MacLennan, Dornie Croft

“It’s more than a box ticking exercise. The training sessions are interactive and you get to speak to people that are also trying things – and struggling with things.”

Karen McCabe, McLays Foods

“We don't have endless resources and time, so to have Climate Springboard’s support and help us get on the road to net zero has been brilliant.”

Laura Sutherland, CSG Clean
