Midlothian businesses show their commitment during Scotland’s Climate Week 2025
We’re proud to stand with organisations, communities and individuals across Scotland in support of Scotland’s Climate Week, running from 29 September to 5 October 2025.
We believe that climate action isn’t just a responsibility, it’s also an opportunity. For businesses, it’s a chance to innovate, to lead, and to build a better future for everyone. That’s why we’re committed to supporting local businesses to reduce their environmental impact and embed sustainability into everything they do through the Midlothian Business Green Pledge.
Climate Week is a moment to reflect on the progress Midlothian businesses have already made, and to encourage others to take the next step towards a greener Scotland where people and planet thrive.
Midlothian Business Green Pledgers leading the way
Here’s just a snapshot of the brilliant initiatives from Midlothian businesses who have already signed the Green Pledge:
Saltire Patisserie – Circular economy partnership
Saltire Patisserie have partnered with Abertay University on a Circular Economy project aimed at reducing food waste. Their new muffins repurpose spent grain from local breweries into baked goods. Considering that 85% of brewing waste comes from spent grain, this project makes a significant impact by reducing waste while creating innovative, sustainable products for their menu.
Roper Toxicology Consulting Ltd – Offsetting through tree planting
Clive Roper, owner of Roper Toxicology Consulting Ltd, has been working with the Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust on their Tree Time initiative, planting 12 trees in Burghlee Park, Loanhead.
This small but meaningful step offsets overseas business travel while directly supporting Midlothian’s local environment.
Limitless Heating – Investing in renewables
Dalkeith-based Limitless Heating are taking big strides towards a sustainable future by training their staff in renewable technologies, particularly Air Source Heat Pump Systems.
- Two members of staff have already gained NICEIC qualifications in Heat Pump Systems at the Energy Training Academy in Dalkeith.
- Staff are attending training at the Vaillant Gloworm Centre of Excellence to expand their expertise.
- The business is now working towards MCS Accreditation, which will certify them as renewable energy product installers and allow them to support customers to access grants and incentives to help towards the cost of installation of renewable energy products.
They are also making improvements to their premises with support from Business Energy Scotland, including insulation upgrades, improved lighting and exploring their own heat pump installation. On top of this, they’ve worked with Midlothian Council’s Trade Waste Service to increase recycling capacity while reducing general waste.
