About the Mayday Journey

The Journey is designed to support businesses at all stages; whether they are just starting to take action on climate change, or whether they are advanced in their climate change activities.

For businesses in the Mayday Network the Mayday Journey can help you to PLEDGE - TAKE ACTION - SHARE. 

Use the Journey to:

• Pledge - Decide which pledges to commit to by reading ‘What & Why’ 
• Take action - Find out what action you can take in the ‘How’ section
• Take action - Find out what action others are taking by reading the ‘Case Studies’
• Take action - Find Support Partners that can support your business to take action in ‘Support’
• Share - Share your story by working with Business in the Community to develop a ‘Case Study’ for the Mayday Journey
• Share - the Mayday Journey with your suppliers and customers so they to, can realise the benefits of carbon reductions

The Mayday Journey should be your first point of call when you need:

• Explanations on the business benefits of taking action
• Simple, practical advice on how to take action
• Links to support partners and other organisations and tools that can help you take action
• Practical best practice case studies from across business
• Challenges to push your business to achieve best practice

Reducing carbon emissions can help you to win new business, expand into new markets, respond to current and upcoming legislation, reduce costs and retain talented staff.

UK businesses are coming under increasing pressure from government and society to take action on climate change.  In the current economic climate, responding to this pressure will be essential to your business remaining competitive.

The Mayday Journey can help your business to reduce its carbon emissions.

You can use the step-by-step guidance to develop an understanding about your emissions, set up a management plan and find practical activities to reduce carbon emissions.

The Mayday Journey is regularly updated with case studies from businesses in the network and links to support offered from our partner organisations.

Each step along the Journey aligns to one of the Mayday pledges.  These are commitments that businesses agree to when joining the Prince's Mayday Network.  Those businesses that have signed up to the Mayday pledges can use the Journey to help them fulfil their commitments.

It is free, and aimed as those people within a business that are responsible either for climate change, or for financial performance.  This could range from an environment manager in a larger business, to a finance manager in a smaller business.
