What is an eco audit?
It is an opportunity to find out what your organisation is already doing and how your performance can be improved further. Eco-auditing is the process of assessing the current environmental performance of an organisation. It's a free service, it's ethical, it can help you reduce your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint! The offer is open to voluntary & community sector organisations in London.
How to apply
What will CBT fund?
The Trust will cover the costs of an eco-audit, training or consultancy provided by our approved consultants. This is likely to take up to about five days' work, and will include:
- visiting your offices, and discussions with chief executive, staff and trustees
- review of your energy use, waste, travel patterns and purchasing practice
- review of policies and how decisions are made
- a report and action plan
- follow-up visit after a year
- report on the changes and savings achieved.
What will CBT ask you to do?
- to participate fully in the process, and to involve all your staff and board
- to consider how environmental behaviours relate to your core objectives, and how you will embed these into policy and practice.
- how you will help to spread any useful messages or changes among your stakeholders.
