Enabling the public sector to develop carbon management strategies to cut energy costs and carbon emissions.

Our experience

Over the past 10 years, our technical and change support has helped more than 3,000 public sector organisations cut their energy bills by over £400million, while reducing their carbon emissions by more than 10 million tonnes. 

How we can help

We have developed tailored services to support a range of public sector organisations.

The Carbon Trust helped us develop a plan we could present to the Board. The advice we received has been a useful combination of simple steps and long-term measures which, together, will achieve tangible cost and carbon savings.
