Suffolk Carbon Charter

The Suffolk Carbon Charter is an award recognising carbon reduction measures in Suffolk's small and medium businesses - i.e. those with fewer than 250 FTEs (Full Time Equivalent staff).

The cost of a Charter Assessment is currently subsidised at just £275+VAT (full cost £550+VAT).

The charge covers the costs of an onsite audit and help to meet the accreditation requirements, through to the assessment and accreditation process.  Further discounts are currently available for some suppliers to the Co-op East of England, a Carbon Charter Pathfinder Partner, and through some other routes.

The Charter was developed as part of the ANSWER Project, with the support of ERDF through the Interreg IVB North Sea Region Programme.   For full details, see http://www.northsearegion.eu/ivb/projects/details/&tid=73.  Further developments to the service were funded by the Climate Change Skills Fund from Sustainability East and Improvement East. Current subsidies to the core service are provided by Suffolk County Council.
