The University of Birmingham is partnering with Tunley Engineering to offer a series of free masterclasses to help SMEs in the West Midlands calculate and reduce their carbon footprints.

The practical, interactive, online workshops will help you understand your own business data, improve your environmental credentials and reduce your company’s carbon emissions. The series of three sessions will involve homework, as well as an opportunity to go through your plan with an expert, and receive a personalised carbon footprint calculation.
