Best Advice Campaign 

"The best free bit of advice I received was from my second boss, an entrepreneur… He advised me to always look at the cash bottom line, don’t worry about the sales top line, because if you haven’t got the cash at the bottom line nothing else matters."

Ian Cheshire, Group CEO, Kingfisher.

What’s the best free business advice you have ever received?

That’s the question we’re asking businesses just like you all around the country – because here at the Carbon Trust we think our Carbon Surveys are the best free advice a business can get in 2010. Sign up for a Carbon Survey and one of our experts will visit your premises, identify where you’re wasting energy and help you stop it with a practical, personalised action plan.

Carbon Surveys typically find ways to cut your energy bills by 20% to 30% - and they’re free if your business spends more than £50,000 a year on energy. If you spend less, don’t worry – our new online tutorial can help you put together your own energy and cost saving action plan.

How does a Carbon Survey help you?

  • Our advice is 100% guaranteed to identify how you can cut your business’ energy costs – it will save you money and help you operate more efficiently.
  • Cutting energy use protects your bottom line against rising energy prices
  • Reducing energy use over time prepares your business to reduce its energy usage, which can improve your performance in forthcoming carbon compliance, like the CRC.
  • Cutting carbon emissions boosts your reputation and green credentials for customers, staff, partners and suppliers.

Why sign-up?

  • British businesses are wasting more than £3bn a year on energy that could be saved through simple, low cost, or no cost energy efficiency measures.
  • Since 2005, our Carbon Surveys have helped more than 15,000 businesses - from manufacturers and retailers to hotels and office-based companies – find ways to cut their costs.
  • Ofgem estimates that energy prices may spike by 60% over the next seven years - Carbon Trust research shows, that rising energy prices and higher taxes are the biggest worries facing British businesses in 2010 after the state of the economy
  • Rising energy price concerns are highest in industries with high energy use such as construction, manufacturing and hospitality.

That’s why our Best Advice campaign is visiting cities across Britain to encourage businesses to take this easy step towards cutting costs.
