Carbon Reduction Commitment Management Service

The whole Carbon Reduction Scheme is currently under review by the Government and its final form is by no means clear. Whilst information on this page was correct at the time it was written, details may be subject to change.

Is your company obligated under the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) but doesn’t fully understand what to do and how to make the most of potential opportunities from CRC?

Our energy consultants are acting as CRC Agents for companies who find that the technical expertise we possess makes the compliance process much more straightforward and allows them to concentrate on their normal day to day business operations.

Our CRC Management Service can be tailored to meet your individual company’s needs but normally includes:

An assessment of energy use across your organisation to form a view of your level of participation within CRC (i.e. information disclosure or full participation)

Assistance with initial online client registration via the Environment Agency portal
Formal nomination of our energy consultants as your company’s ‘agent’ for CRC compliance
Submission of all relevant data to Environment Agency on your company’s behalf
