Carbon Mentoring Service
Green500 offers its members a first class carbon mentoring service designed to guide participant organisations towards tangible carbon reductions. The scheme involves both an initial carbon appraisal and ongoing support from a designated carbon mentor who will put together an individual Action Plan for each member organisation. Help with implementation is also available as well as participant networking opportunities. More information on the Carbon Mentoring Service.
