A new initiative is launching to help businesses across Shropshire take meaningful climate action and lead the way in building a more sustainable future. The Sustainable Shropshire campaign, spearheaded by E4environment, aims to support local enterprises in reducing their environmental impact while strengthening the county’s economy and resilience.
From the artisan cafés of Shrewsbury to the agricultural enterprises around Oswestry, and from tech startups in Whitchurch to manufacturers in Telford, businesses across the region are being called to join a growing movement toward sustainability.
Sustainability isn’t just a trend, it’s a strategic move. It helps future-proof businesses, attract eco-conscious customers, and protect the landscapes and livelihoods that make Shropshire so special.
Introducing: Sustainable Leaders in Business
As part of the campaign, Shropshire businesses will gain discounted access (50%) to the Sustainable Leaders in Business programme, a practical and inspiring resource designed to guide organisations through their sustainability journey.
These offers:
- Step-by-step guidance tailored to your sector
- Environmental legal register
- Tools to reduce your carbon footprint
- Support to engage teams and customers
- Recognition as a sustainability leader in your community
Whether a business is just starting out or looking to deepen its impact, the programme provides the tools and support needed to make real change.
Join the Movement
The climate crisis demands urgent action, and Shropshire businesses have a unique opportunity to lead. By joining Sustainable Leaders in Business, organisations are not only improving their operations, they’re helping safeguard the county’s natural beauty and economic vitality for generations to come.
Let’s make Shropshire a beacon of sustainability. Let’s be leaders—together.
Current member testimonials
David Smith- Managing Director of Shropshire IT Recycling (July 2025):
“At Shropshire IT Recycling ltd, we’ll be the first to say we’re not sustainability experts — we’re recyclers by trade and we are trying to do our bit, but that’s exactly why we’re working with Deborah Cairns-Stoll and the fantastic team at Sustainable Leaders in Business to assess how we can do more. We’ve set some exciting goals for the next 12 months, and we’re committed to challenging ourselves and improving our processes.” “Now more than ever, businesses are expected to demonstrate genuine sustainability — and rightly so. Let’s not get left behind. Take a moment to reflect on what you, your business, and your processes could be doing better. Sometimes it’s the simplest changes that have the greatest impact.
If you're looking for guidance, I strongly recommend reaching out to Deborah Cairns-Stoll and Dr Mandy Stoker at Sustainable Leaders in Business — their expertise could make all the difference.”
Nathan Jones, Managing Director of JKS Boyles (June 2025):
“We are really proud to have achieved Gold status from Sustainable Leaders in Business. This recognition reflects the hard work and investment we’ve made to integrate sustainability into our operations and long-term strategy. From our investment in solar energy and electric vehicle infrastructure, to our ongoing efforts to enhance biodiversity and reduce waste, we’re committed to making meaningful changes that benefit both our business and the environment. We view this award not as a destination, but as a milestone on our journey toward continuous improvement and climate responsibility – and we’re grateful for the support and guidance from the team at Sustainable Leaders in Business.”
