A practical way to reduce your carbon footprint, tackle climate change and cut costs.

We provide free carbon surveys* to organisations with annual energy bills of more than £50,000.

Our carbon experts will:
  • visit your premises
  • identify energy saving opportunities with no or low cost of implementation
  • offer practical advice
  • present you with implementable recommendations for saving energy.

We’ve already helped thousands of companies to uncover savings of up to 20% through no-cost and low-cost actions. These simple steps can pay for themselves immediately or within a few months.

The key benefits of a carbon survey include:
  • cutting wasteful energy use
  • saving money
  • boosting organisational reputation
  • reducing your carbon footprint

There is help available both for companies with limited experience of energy efficiency and those organisations already committed to carbon reduction.

* Subject to eligibility criteria. The Carbon Trust is funded by Government and provides a consultancy service that is appropriate to the individual needs of, and available to all, companies in the UK. Its primary objective is to identify, and assist those companies in the implementation of, carbon emissions savings. In light of this objective, the eligibility criteria for this service relate to the amount your organisation spends on its energy bills.

The Carbon Trust will provide a service that is proportional to your energy spend, and other information that you will be asked for upon application. The specific criteria that the Carbon Trust uses to determine the service may be subject to change as we seek to continue to ensure the Carbon Trust’s services are available to all companies that approach us on a first come, first served basis, appropriate to their needs.
