The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has published its response to the Climate Change Agreements (CCA) consultation confirming a 6-year extension to the CCA scheme. Participants will enjoy reduced Climate Change Levy (CCL) rates by meeting energy efficiency or carbon targets until 2033. The scheme aims to improve facility energy efficiency, contributing to UK-wide goals. Total annual CCL reductions are estimated at £310 million. New entrants can join from 1 May to 31 Aug 2025 for the first target period. Existing participants will transfer, subject to eligibility checks. New sectors/processes are likely to join from 1 January 2027, pending parliamentary approval. Matthew Dowdeswell, Director: Optimisation Development, commented: “We manage energy for over 3,600 clients, helping reduce their costs, consumption, and carbon. This new legislation will help those with a CCA to remain cost-competitive and support their aims to improve efficiency and reduce carbon in line with net-zero goals.  "Our CCA service covers all requirements of the scheme and we can even support with efficiency, monitoring and on-site generation solutions that help our clients meet their CCA targets.” When the application window opens, you will need to act fast.

We realise that quite a few people travel some way to come to Inspired's HQ - Calder House, in Kirkham. And mornings are difficult enough with the cold weather and dark early starts, alongside the school run and nursery drop-off. So our office management team have cooked up a tasty treat for all staff... daily breakfast is now being served! We believe it's the little things that make a difference, especially on office days when you're rushing out the door balancing work and family commitments. We're offering all employees a complimentary breakfast spread with various pastries, cereals, yoghurt and fruit along with all the usual tea and coffees. It should hopefully make the morning that bit easier and give everyone the energy they need to kick start the day and help our clients with their sustainability challenges. Because a great day, starts with a great breakfast.

For the past 12 months, we've been working with Empiric Student Property plc to accelerate the organisation's progress towards a sustainable future. Speaking about our partnership, Donald Grant, Chief Financial & Sustainability Officer, said: "[Inspired] took the time to understand our business model, challenges and aspirations. This enabled them to tailor their approach, ensuring the final reports and strategy truly reflected our company's voice and priorities." Swipe ➡️ to learn more #ESG #SustainableConsultancy
