What sustainability really looks like for small businesses

Sustainability is a defining part of how modern businesses grow, connect with customers and future-proof their operations. But for many "going green" can still feel overwhelming or out of reach.

That's why we created this film – to show what sustainability actually looks like in the real world, through the voices of small business founders who are already doing it.

Featuring insights from EDF Small Business customers and entrepreneurs from our Powering the High Street podcast series, the film highlights practical steps businesses can take regardless of size, budget or industry.

From rethinking materials and tackling waste to generating your own clean energy and building a culture that prioritises people and planet, these founders prove that sustainability isn't reserved for big corporations. It's achievable and often transformational for small businesses too.

If you're looking for inspiration or simply want to start saving both cash and carbon, have a watch.
