Success through sustainability
The Better Business Partnership (BBP) is a free program funded by local Councils, designed especially for local businesses like yours. We provide free, independent advice and expert support to help your business achieve sustainable growth.
We connect you with the tools, resources, and local community recognition to not only reduce your environmental impact but also boost your bottom line.
Better Business focus areas
Net Zero Emissions
The pathway to reach Net Zero emissions is to actively reduce actual emissions sources in the business, through energy used and waste produced. We guide your business to calculate your baseline emissions, set realistic targets, and report your progress. To make this process seamless, we have partnered with NetNada, a leading carbon accounting and climate reporting software, providing BBP members with the tools to accurately measure their carbon footprint. Discover practical actions and steps to reduce the carbon footprint of your business and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Circular Economy and Waste
The Circular Economy is a way of using resources to ensure that we reduce waste and recover materials to keep them in use and out of landfill as long as possible. Learn how your business can adopt this sustainable model by focusing on reducing waste, extending product life cycles, and creating regenerative business systems. Our BBP Program Managers will help you undertake a free waste audit to understand how reducing waste can save you money and help the environment. After the audit, receive tailored advice and ongoing support to implement your waste strategies.
Making it Easier
BBP provides you with special offers and application assistance for a variety of government grants and rebates. Access free and sponsored resources from agencies like your local council, Service NSW, and the Small Business Commissioner to make it easier to start and stay in business with sustainability in mind.
Being an Ethical Business
Explore pathways to certifications such as BCorp and Social Enterprise, underscoring your commitment to responsible business practices. We guide you through applications that will highlight the social and environmental ethics of your business. Embrace best practices in reporting, governance, and transparency to show your customers you care.
