Zellar simplifies and provides easy access to critical sustainability drivers and provides all the emission insights, support, advice, connections you need to become a recognised, certified greener business all in one place.

Signing up to Zellar traditionally costs £125 per year on a subscription basis, however, The GBSLEP understand the challenges many businesses across Greater Birmingham and Solihull face in becoming more sustainable – and is supporting businesses with 100 funded licenses to make it easier for local business to take steps towards sustainability.

Small and medium-sized enterprises makeup 99.9% of all UK businesses and employ 60% of the workforce. Yet, 78% don’t know where to start to become more sustainable, according to the Centre for Business and Economic Research.

Gary Styles, Zellar’s CEO and Founder, says: 

Like many parents, I worry about my children’s future in the face of the climate crisis. There’s plenty of talk but not enough action so I created Zellar to help businesses make real changes internally through reducing emissions, volunteering, behaviour change, contributing to biodiversity projects and offsetting.

We’ve already helped over 50 early-access businesses in Manchester significantly improve their sustainability process, and we’re excited to reach hundreds more companies across the Midlands now as well.”
