"It is our belief that the twin objectives of environmental stewardship and increased productivity can be achieved simultaneously in the manufacturing sector. Our participation in the carbon management pilot programme, coupled with previous and on-going investment, will help Alcan to further reduce our environmental footprint while at the same time allowing us to grow our business and propel productivity to world-class levels."

"We're delighted to be among the pilot group of companies working with the Carbon Trust on carbon management. We've taken a responsible stance towards the environment for many years and have implemented a number of steps to ensure that our operations are environmentally sound, including the £130million investment in the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant which supplies steam and electricity to our two UK plants, replacing three old power stations. The Carbon Trust will help us take our work in this important area even further."

"At Severn Trent, we pride ourselves on our position as Global Utilities Sector Leader in the Dow Jones World Sustainability Index for the last three years. We've already made great strides in reducing our own impact on climate change - last year we generated the equivalent of 44% of our electricity from renewable resources and reduced our overall greenhouse emissions by 26%. Yet there is always room for improvement, which is why working with experts such as the Carbon Trust is invaluable in helping us plan for the future."
