Welcome to the latest Net Zero, Carbon Reduction, and Energy Management news updates
Share your net zero insights in our new survey
As organisations across the UK continue their journey toward sustainability, we have launched a new survey to understand the challenges and opportunities they face in achieving net zero.
The survey, “Carbon Countdown: Progress Towards Net Zero,” aims to capture insights from organisations from all sectors and all sizes to help build a comprehensive picture of where they stand today and the support required to accelerate their transition.
By taking part, organisations will have the chance to win either:
- A free energy audit or
- A free energy efficiency training course
These prizes are designed to support each organisation’s sustainability journey and achieve their net zero goals more effectively. All survey participants will also receive a full copy of the results.
The future of UK electricity: embracing zonal pricing for a sustainable market
As the UK continues its ambitious journey towards a sustainable and efficient energy future, innovative approaches to electricity market arrangements are essential.
