How do I get help on improving my performance?
You can improve your organisation's performance by devising a carbon-abatement strategy and considering energy efficiency measures. You can get more advice from the following organisations:
- The Carbon Trust is a private company funded by DECC. It provides many useful sources of information for those wishing to manage their energy use effectively. It also provides site survey and carbon management products for companies with energy bills over a certain size. Visit the Carbon Trust website or call 0800 085 2005 for more details.
- The Carbon Trust Standard is an independently assessed accreditation, offered by the Carbon Trust, for organisations who measure, monitor and reduce emissions year on year. Achieving the Carbon Trust Standard (or certification under an approved equivalent scheme) is one of the factors which counts towards performance in the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme league table, as part of an organisation’s early action metric score. Visit the Carbon Trust Standard website for more information.
- Salix is an independent, publicly-funded company providing help specifically for the public sector in energy efficiency technologies through invest-to-save schemes. Salix receives funding from the Carbon Trust and works with Local Authorities, NHS Foundation Trusts, higher and further education institutions and Central Government Departments. Visit the Salix website or call 020 3043 8800 for more details.
