Encourages lower energy bills too!

UK businesses are receiving another helping hand to reduce carbon emissions through a new guide published jointly by the Carbon Trust and the Institute of Directors. It provides useful information, advice and examples of best practice to help large or small businesses to take steps to cut carbon emissions, reduce energy bills and thus help combat climate change.

Recent research by the Carbon Trust amongst 1500 UK businesses found that a lack of information on how to take steps to tackle climate change was preventing them from addressing the issue.

It is hope that the new guide – Climate change: how UK businesses can benefit by reducing carbon emissions – will encourage businesses to understand the business implications of climate change and encourage them to take responsibility for their actions and impact on the global climate.

Written by leading UK journalists, the guide is full of practical, relevant advice and top tips that will help businesses take steps now, at little cost, to reduce carbon emissions. It includes specific chapters on energy efficency and reducing carbon emissions in small and medium sized businesses, as well as larger organisations, chapters on emissions trading and renewable enregy.
