Wenta and Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council celebrate success with Action Zero clients

Action Zero is an initiative aimed at empowering businesses to embrace sustainable practices and reduce their environmental impact. The programme has been running since July 2022 and has caught the interest of several local councils that have action on climate change as a priority.

The Welwyn Hatfield partnership was launched in October, and supports the commitment of the Council to drive environmental sustainability within their local business community.

Wenta spoke to some of their clients enjoying the Welwyn Hatfield Action Zero Programme at a recent visit to the council offices. 

Andrea Boughton, Creative Director, Beehive Green - "In 2022, I put my stake in the ground to declare I put people and planet before profit. This guiding principle shapes my business and positively contributes to the world around me. I enjoy working with brands that want to make a difference, including non-profits, charities and SMEs. Now, in 2024 I’m continuing my journey with the Action Zero programme and look forward to completing my carbon footprint in due course.”

Andrea is finding the programme to be informative, and easy to access, commenting that Wenta's Action Zero team delivering the service are super helpful.

Leader of Welwyn Hatfield Council and Executive Member for Climate Change, Cllr Paul Zukowskyj expressed enthusiasm for the partnership stating “Action on climate change is one of our priorities and we are proud to have launched the FREE Welwyn Hatfield Action Zero Gold programme. Hearing the testimonials from local businesses, it is clear that the programme is having a positive impact already.” 

The Mayor, Cllr Pankit Shah added “This initiative gives free resources, bespoke guidance and skills training support so we encourage business to get in touch with Wenta for more information.”

Michael Martin, Head of Net Zero and Business Advice Team, Wenta – “It’s not just about putting people through the carbon footprint, or even completing an action plan, its about a sustainability journey, measuring next year to show a reduction/ demonstrating decarbonisation in the area – this is what the partnership of Wenta and Welwyn Hatfield are ultimately working towards.”
