Part of the UK Emissions Trading Scheme?

1E is already working with a number of the 34 organisations who have voluntarily taken on a legally binding obligation to reduce their emissions against 1998-2000 levels.

The UK Emissions Trading Scheme is the world's first economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme. There are three main reasons for firms to participate in the UK Emissions Trading Scheme:

Financial incentive. The Government is making available up to £215 million over 5 years for firms who voluntarily take on emission reduction targets for greenhouse gases. This equates to c.£30 million per year after corporation tax. Any one firm can receive a maximum of 10% of the incentive monies. Additionally, reducing emissions often means improving energy efficiency. This, in turn, can result in lower costs.
Company strategy. There are gains from 'learning-by-doing'. The Kyoto Protocol envisages global trading in greenhouse gas emissions from 2008. Such trading is likely to become an important risk management tool for firms. This voluntary scheme allows companies with UK operations to develop trading expertise in advance of markets opening up.
Company reputation. Climate change is a mainstream political issue, and this is a major environmental initiative. Firms that participate and meet their targets will be able to demonstrate that they are part of an innovative and widely publicised scheme to tackle climate change.
