What is the SEWBCC?
It can be overwhelming for a business to start their journey to Net Zero. The SEWBCC is an independent organisation that aims to be a free resource to support businesses in the region to achieve their Net Zero objectives.
Why does the Coalition exist?
With Welsh Government setting 2050 Net Zero targets, alongside an economic environment now favouring 'Greener Businesses', it is critical that we support businesses to improve their sustainability and do the right thing for future generations.
The SEWBCC spotlights best practice and equips businesses with the right tools, knowledge, and networks to help overcome common sustainability challenges - ensuring we can all play a role to achieve a Net Zero Wales.
The SEWBCC Steering Group
The SEWBCC is driven by our steering group which consist of business experts in the region. They have a passion to make Wales become a Green Economy leader.
The Steering Group uses both its expertise and feedback from our members to ensure the content shared by the Coalition is valuable, necessary, and supports businesses in their transition to Net Zero.

OUR BUSINESSES WITH THE KNOWLEDGE, RESOURCES – AND VOICE – THAT ENABLES THEM TO ACT AND THRIVE IN A COLLABORATIVE NET ZERO ENVIRONMENT.”
