On Wednesday 13 May 2026, Swindon Borough Council invited businesses to a free Greener Business Day at The Workshed in the Carriage Works, Swindon. The event was set for Friday 22 May 2026, from 9.30am to 4pm.
The council organised the day with the Wiltshire Climate Alliance. It was open to businesses of all sizes and sectors across Swindon and Wiltshire.
What was on the programme?
- Expert panel discussions
- Practical workshops
- Exhibitors from across the region
The aim was to help local firms cut their carbon emissions and to celebrate organisations that were already acting on sustainability.
Which companies were taking part?
The council named six: Zurich, Nationwide, Nanogreen, Wiltshire Energy, Thermo Fisher and Sinewave.
Why did it matter to Swindon firms?
The council's case was that organisations which build sustainable practices into their work tend to be more innovative, more competitive and financially stronger. Its announcement said: "Increasingly, decarbonisation is becoming a pre-condition for long-term growth", helping organisations attract investment and staff and become more resilient.
