Why Save Carbon?

Reducing the amount of carbon you emit is one of the fastest, most effective ways to save your business money. And it will also help you combat climate change by reducing your carbon footprint.

You don’t need to make major alterations to see the difference. The right combination of small changes, many costing nothing, can reduce your energy bill by thousands of pounds. Emitting less carbon will also improve your reputation as a socially responsible business, and could help you attract customers, employees and investors.

Stay ahead of government regulation

With climate change so high on the political agenda, we are likely to see more initiatives like the Climate Change Levy and the Emissions Trading Scheme, as well as tighter building regulations.

Being prepared for these changes now will save you time and money when they are introduced. Plus, if you start saving energy straight away, you will immediately reduce the levy on your energy bill.
