Greener Living & Working

Environmental Business Services

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 team provides training and advice to organisations on environmental business issues – cutting carbon and saving money.

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 and encourage the use of renewable energy technologies.
