The first Performance League Table (PLT) has now been launched beneath the CRC (Carbon Reduction Commitment) Energy Efficiency Scheme and has stated that football clubs, hospitals and museums are amongst among the most energy efficient organisations in the UK.

Beneath the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, the companies and businesses in the UK which make probably the most carbon emissions are required to report on their carbon footprint to the Environmental Agency each year. This information is launched in a yearly table; the PLT.

This year sees the first publication of the PLT and 22 organisations have been placed at joint table of the table. For instance, private companies for example Manchester United Football Club, Coventry Arena and Center Parcs, government sectors including the Department for Energy and Climate Change and OFGEM and four NHS Trusts and hospitals.

Below the CRC Scheme in addition to the new ranking system, companies with a large business carbon footprint are required to pay £12 per tonne of carbon released, and on account of the plan many companies are now looking for a way to lessen their emissions.

With recent analysis showing that the majority of businesses will be selecting future suppliers moderately centered on the amount of carbon they produce, it is important for companies of all sizes to try to find ways of cutting the CO2 their operations create.

There are a amount of methods of using significantly less energy and as a result creating less carbon, from putting in a voltage optimiser at your workplace to normal the electricity employed to re-training staff to show them how small changes can have a big impact, so reducing emissions is an attainable goal for any measured business.
