Greater Manchester is a vibrant and thriving city-region, but it's also one of the UK's biggest emitters of greenhouse gases. Businesses play a vital role in reducing our carbon footprint, and there are many ways to do this without sacrificing profitability.
One of the best ways to save energy is to improve energy efficiency. This can be done by making simple changes to your building and operations, such as installing energy-efficient lighting and insulation, or upgrading your HVAC system.
Another way to save energy is to switch to renewable energy sources, such as solar power or wind energy. Renewable energy is clean, sustainable, and can help you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels.
