Welcome to our new quarterly newsletter, keeping you up to date on our work. In tougher times, a key area of focus for us is helping companies across the country to cut carbon and reduce their energy bills by
investing in energy efficiency. So far this year our interest-free loans scheme has provided loans worth over £20 million to businesses which will
help them reduce annual carbon emissions by nearly 50,000 tonnes and provide £7 million of direct energy savings a year. If you have any feedback please
get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
