2 October 2009: New ‘how to’ will help businesses reduce emissions

emissions2.jpgNew guidance is now available to businesses to help them measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Department for Energy and Climate Change published the guidance, along with further guidance on what it means to be carbon neutral.

Businesses produce a significant proportion of the UK’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which means they have a direct role in helping the UK meet its climate change commitments.

Environment Secretary Hilary Benn said:

“Businesses have an opportunity to lead the way on the UK’s climate change agenda and this guidance helps them do that. Measuring your GHG emissions is an important first step in addressing the UK’s contribution to the UK’s total emissions. By reducing them, organisations can save money on energy costs and resource efficiencies – as well as maintaining a competitive edge through strengthening their green credentials.”

The guidance is for businesses of all sizes as well as public and third sector organisations.
