Eco-friendly change: Switch to e-cargo bike
Business impact: Reduced carbon emissions
“I got rid of my diesel van through the ULEZ Scrappage Scheme and now solely use an electric cargo bike for my decorating business. I bought the cargo bike back in 2019 and gradually used it more and more. The Scheme was just the nudge I needed and I haven't looked back since.” Ian from IanDecor
