Greener Living & Working

Business Advisers

We help people 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 provide training and advice to organisations on environmental business issues such as reducing waste, using energy and resources efficiently, cutting carbon emissions and saving money.

In the community and in schools, we help to change behaviours and limit personal environmental impacts. We encourage waste minimisation, recycling and composting, promote walking and cycling and help measure and improve the energy efficiency of homes.

We support people to acquire skills and experience needed for 'green jobs', for example through our Green Team Apprenticeships and training in Environmental Managament Systems.
