POLICY & LEGISLATION

Governments are using energy policy and legislation to change attitudes to energy and to increase businesses' use of renewable energy. Policy and legislation are becoming more important in the way in which businesses manage tendering and procurement. In the future government legislation will increasingly restrict businesses practices and change the way in which they manage their energy.

Nationwide are able to help businesses in developing a strategic energy policy or to understand new legislation. Government legislation is helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while meeting strict policy targets. This policy and legislation is encouraging energy efficient business through tax relief and investment in energy efficient technology. Any policy to reduce consumption will benefit a business through lower bills. Businesses should use legislation and policy to think more diversely about energy and how the requirements can be best met. We can help to mitigate new legislation and to develop a policy and strategies which can reduce consumption and cut bills to meet government policy and legislation.
