What if my business is not eligible?
Carbon Footprint Ltd's programmes are extremely cost effective and we are highly confident that you will make a good return on your investment.
Merely from a operational stance, every tonne of CO2 that is saved could save your business up to £240 per person per annum (this equates to £24,000 for a 100 person SME business). From a competitive sales opportunity and risk reduction perspective, the benefits may be much higher.
