Reducing Scotland's carbon footprint in business and the public sector

As well as offering the full range of Carbon Trust services, Carbon Trust Scotland also offers a number of additional services specifically for Scottish companies and organisations that are supported by the Scottish Government.

How we can help your business

We support businesses across Scotland, from large companies to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as they tackle their carbon footprint. For all companies, we provide support through our advice line, online technical content and web tools.  For companies who spend more than £30k per annum on energy bills, our consultants can deliver practical on-site advice, identifying and putting into practice carbon-reduction projects. This includes providing support and advice during the design of low-carbon buildings. If you would like our help, give us a call on 0800 085 2005.

We also run a series of business breakfasts and workshops throughout the country to raise energy efficiency awareness and provide information and training around low-carbon technologies.     

How we support the public sector

We've worked successfully with many of Scotland's local authorities, the NHS, universities and colleges, and government. This experience has enabled us to create a collection of approaches that help organisations to identify, prioritise, plan and implement energy saving projects. 

We provide carbon reduction services specifically designed to meet the needs of the public sector. We work with organisations, providing advice, implementation support and funding to deliver real carbon savings. We identify and share best practice through technical training events and networking forums. And where opportunities for collaboration arise, we bring together organisations to maximise funding and resources. We endeavour to embed carbon management within corporate policy by understanding and working with public sector organisations in Scotland.

The support received from the Carbon Trust has been second to none. The awareness raising activity has been a huge success with staff, helping us save almost £80,000 per year on energy bills.
