The Shell Springboard
Awards launched in 2005 and have since attracted over 1,000 applications from
small business owners with ideas to combat climate change, allocating more
£2.25 million to 62 businesses.
The programme
provides a financial boost to innovative, low carbon business initiatives from
across the UK. The objective is to encourage businesses to see climate change
responsibilities as more than compliance and cost. Shell believes there is a
marked business opportunity if society is to move from a carbon-constrained
world.
Nine awards of up to
£40,000 are available through the programme with the best two regional entries
being forwarded for the overall UK award.
Applications are
accepted from sole traders, partnerships, limited companies or community
interest companies (including government or university spin-outs) that operate
in the UK. Businesses must have been established for a minimum of three months
and have less than 250 employees.
All applications must
be made via a form on the Shell Springboard website.
The deadline for
receipt of applications is 18 January 2013.
