Suffolk Carbon Charter

Suffolk Carbon Charter is a unique and innovative scheme to recognise carbon reduction measures in Suffolk's small and medium businesses - i.e. those with fewer than 250 FTEs (Full Time Equivalent staff).

The full price for Charter Accreditation is currently £550, including an onsite audit of the business and support in meeting the requirements for accreditation.  Limited subsidies are currently available - businesses pay on a sliding scale, according to their size, with costs starting at just £50.
