Carbon Trust Involvement

At Realstone we are working closely with the Carbon Trust, www.carbontrust.co.uk to help our business reduce the effect we have on the environment.

This is enabling us to identify carbon emission reduction initiatives.

The Carbon Trust has developed an overall approach to help proactive management identify the risks and opportunities relating to climate change mitigation.

Natural stone is already one of, if not the best building materials when considering the effect its creation has on the environment. It is also an eminently renewable resource.

The use of a systematic approach, supported by specialist climate change expertise, has highlighted climate change as a strategic issue for many companies and identified practical emission reduction initiatives.

We have Identified and agreed a core team at Realstone and evaluated the business case in terms of risks and opportunities that climate change presents to our business.

A full independent survey has been commissioned and the full results are awaited. This will allow us to identify cost-effective ways to cut emissions and save money whilst helping the environment. The plan will be developed to deliver maximum benefit to both the environment and to the business. Reporting and monitoring will be an important aspect of maintaining hold of the objectives.

If you are interested in the carbon reduction you might achieve please contact the Carbon trust directly at www.carbontrust.co.uk

We will update this page as the results come in and as we action these results.
