The City Council is celebrating the climate change work of the first five local businesses who have been accepted for its Target Zero climate action scheme.
Through the Target Zero scheme, Milton Keynes City Council is recognising small to medium size businesses (SMEs) who have a clear business objective to become carbon negative by 2030.
Businesses must have a clear strategy which demonstrates how they will achieve their climate action ambitions to be accepted for the scheme.
