Your organisation may be affected by a new, legally binding climate change and energy saving scheme called the Carbon Reduction Commitment. This is a mandatory scheme to promote energy efficiency and help reduce carbon emissions. It is a UK wide scheme which will cover large business and public sector organisations.
The scheme is also a central part of the UK’s strategy for controlling our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. It will tackle CO2 emissions not already covered by Climate Change Agreements and the EU Emissions Trading System. This will help reduce the country’s carbon footprint to deliver the ambitious emissions reduction targets set in the Government’s Climate Change Act. The scheme will start in April 2010.
The draft consultation on the draft order has been launched and needs your views....
