Why are businesses looking to save carbon, energy and money?

Carbon reduction, resource efficiency, and corporate responsibility are at the top of every organisation’s agenda. From retailers and manufacturers, to banks and utilities every company has a responsibility to change their practices, strategies and processes.

Building on its extensive programme developed over recent years, the UK Government is taking action on five fronts.

• Protecting the public from immediate risk.

• Preparing for the future

• Limiting the severity of future climate change through a new international climate agreement

• Building a low-carbon UK

• Supporting individuals, communities and businesses to play their part
