Welcome to the Tees Valley Green Business Network

LightbulbThe Tees Valley Green Business Network is led by a range of local organisations with an interest in supporting businesses and encouraging improved environmental performance.



Our Aims and Goals

As the environment attracts more attention, as costs such as waste and energy rise and as major purchasers and the public scrutinise environmental credentials, it is increasingly important for businesses to look at their environmental performance.

The Tees Valley Green Business Network has been set up to help businesses find the information they need to take advantage of the commercial benefits that exist.
