Member Communication - letter from The Mayor of London's Environment Advisor
Posted on 09/07/2010 by LM
Dear Member,
At our annual awards ceremony, the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, congratulated members of the Green500 for their excellent work in helping London meet its ambitious carbon reduction targets by saving around 476,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
The Mayor also announced a partnership between his office, the London Development Agency and the Carbon Trust to relaunch the London scheme this autumn. This is a reflection of how successful we feel the current programme has been in helping large organisations to cut carbon emissions and save energy and our desire to significantly expand its reach and scope.
The new scheme, which takes the best of the Green500 and further enhances it with the Carbon Trust’s expertise aims to help at least 1,500 small, medium and large London organisations to save at least one million tonnes of CO2 over the next three years, as well as £100 million in energy costs.
Businesses that join the scheme will be able to access much more advice and support, making it easier to save on energy costs and the costs associated with managing carbon emissions.
The new scheme, with its higher profile and expanded membership, will deliver greater benefits by building strong networks to share carbon reduction best practice amongst London organisations and to foster peer support within individual sectors. We want the new scheme to be most authoritative 'stamp of approval' for recognising the carbon reduction achievements of London's organisations.
We want to encourage current Green500 members to transfer to this scheme and to be reassured that their involvement is a top priority for us. The Carbon Trust would like to contact you over the coming months so they can send you more detailed information and help you seamlessly transfer membership to the new programme. To comply with data protection rules, you need to agree to passing on your details. Please select the appropriate text below and email this back to Green500.
If you have any questions about the new scheme, please do not hesitate to contact the Carbon Trust or call them on 0207 832 4858.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support over the previous years and I hope we can continue to work together in the future.
Yours sincerely,
Isabel Dedring
Mayor of London's environment advisor
