Toyota and Chamber will Host a Series of Free Workshops to Grow Energy Efficiency for Small Businesses

Together with Toyota Manufacturing UK, East Midlands Chamber is hosting a series of free workshops aimed at assisting small businesses in enhancing their energy efficiency.

The completely funded Energy Reduction workshops are a part of the UK Government’s Accelerator project, which is financed by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. They will offer a unique chance to see a shop floor demonstration and interact with Toyota energy professionals.

It also tries to show decarbonization and competitiveness in action by providing an overview of its strategic approach to energy cost management and decarbonization.

Diane Beresford, the chamber’s deputy chief executive, said: “Any decision-maker in a business that meets the eligibility criteria of the Accelerator project is welcome to express their interest in joining us on the day although larger-sized SMEs with a particularly high energy consumption will take priority and we expect manufacturing and logistics businesses to derive the most value.”

John Malpas, senior manager for Toyota Manufacturing UK’s Environment and Carbon Neutrality Project, said: “We have over 30 years of energy kaizen experience achieving significant energy reductions and technological breakthroughs.

“The workshops aim to inspire others through sharing our decarbonization activities by practical observations and demonstrations on the shopfloor by our Energy Support and Collaboration Team.”

Three dates are available for businesses to select from: July 30, September 24, or October 29.
