Businesses covered by the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) will be aware that the scheme was established as revenue neutral, i.e. that the revenues generated by the scheme would be recycled to the best performing participants.  As part of the Comprehensive Spending Revenue, DECC issued the following press release “Revenue raised from the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) will be used to support the public finances (including spending on the environment), rather than recycled to participants.”

This will come as a shock to many Commitment participants who had believed that good performance would help them recoup some or all of their contributions.  Now it appears that CRC revenues will instead be used to support the public finances.

Here is the link to the DECC Press Release.

We have started a discussion thread on our Facebook page where we’ll post more information as it becomes available.

In the run-up to 10:10:10 (The Global Day of Doing) on 10th October, The Original Carbon Company is playing its part by offering businesses signed up to 10:10 a free carbon audit*.

Customers are increasingly asking their suppliers what they are doing about climate change.  The first step to managing your carbon emissions is to quantify them.  If you haven’t measured it, you can’t manage it!    Once a business knows its carbon footprint, it can go about reducing it and maybe offsetting the residual, unavoidable emissions.

We specialise in helping our clients leverage maximum marketing benefit from their environmental achievements.

In order to take advantage of this time-limited offer, just call The Original Carbon Company on 0207 193 8900 and we’ll take you through the process.

*Offer open to companies with no more than 2 premises and less than 100 employees.
