All businesses use energy to heat and power buildings, to control production processes and to fuel vehicles. By reducing your energy consumption you could help to:

reduce pollution
lower your operating costs
reduce your carbon tax charges
improve the efficiency of your business operations

The Environmental Issues:
The burning of fossil fuels results in emissions of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) and sulphur dioxide (which causes acid rain). Vehicle exhaust fumes include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particulates. These pollutants affect air quality and our health, as well as the environment.

Managing your energy consumption and costs effectively is one of the most straight-forward things you can do to reduce the environmental impacts of your company and save money at the same time.

A useful first step is to allocate responsibility for energy efficiency to a member of staff. You can also get in touch with the Environment and Energy Helpline on 0800 585 794 for free general advice and support materials on energy efficiency. This helpline is sponsored by the UK Government.
