Taxing times for food retailers

The CRC Energy Efficiency Commitment is another new reality that big businesses in the UK must contend with. It joins increasing public concern about environmental footprint of their favoured brands and an ever-more complex regulatory framework as challenges to be overcome.

With retailers now facing a non-refundable, carbon-reduction tax to the UK Treasury if their energy use exceeds certain limits, backed up by a league table to publicly rank their performance, the pressure is on as never before. Mace has been helping retailers to meet their existing and new carbon reduction commitments in a variety of innovative ways. Director of retail at Mace, Matt Turner explains how we can help you to re-engineer your business and stay on the green side of the red tape.
