We help take practical action to tackle climate change – and we recognise that by doing so we can also reduce fuel poverty and help business be more efficient. Our Environmental Business Services provide training and advice to organisations on minimising waste, saving energy and avoiding prosecution.
Improving the environment is also a business opportunity and we have developed not for profit environmental businesses to benefit other community schemes.
Out in the community, we help to change behaviours and limit personal environmental impacts. We encourage walking and cycling, help improve the energy efficiency of homes, encourage the use of renewable energy technologies and provide community recycling and composting advice.
