Welcome

Reducing Carbon is a leading consultancy in the areas of carbon, energy and change management.

We help businesses and organisations to reduce their carbon emissions and improve their profitability. We also advise our clients on making the most of the opportunities so as to maximise sales and market share.

Significant changes will occur over the next 5, 10, 15 years. Many businesses, if they are to survive, will need to change and those that prepare and embrace the changes can thrive. Reducing Carbon helps organisations to make the transition to the low carbon economy. We make businesses more sustainable.

Legislation

One area of change is legislation. The UK Government has introduced an Act which received Royal Assent on 26th November 2008. It is called the Climate Change Act 2008. The UK is the first country in the world to introduce legally binding policy commitments to reduce carbon emissions over the long term. This Act, together with other legislation, will affect every organisation. It is one of the reasons why businesses should act now.

Climate of change

In order to survive and thrive in the new economic climate, companies will need to understand:

  • the implications of the low carbon economy
  • the direct and indirect consequences of climate change
  • the market forces - present and future
  • the implications specific to their business
  • the market and other business threats to their organisation
  • the significant opportunities that are becoming available

Careful consideration and appropriate action will be required, which is where Reducing Carbon can help. Our consultancy services and sustainable products include:
