Clients are looking towards TLUC as a means of finding greener solutions to commercial energy problems. They have made a huge impact in changing ideas and perceptions around sustainable solutions by helping their clients reduce carbon footprints and by sourcing renewable fuels wherever possible. One of the ways in which this firm are actively doing their bit for a more sustainable future is through their carbon offsetting scheme. Ensuring that they create a positive impact on the environment, TLUC actually engage in the planting of oak trees to balance their own emissions. In starting this initiative, over 5,000 tonnes of carbon have been offset to date, meaning that the firm have offset more emissions than the total combination their employees will have generated across their lifetimes. In order to maintain their green practices TLUC have collaborated with EFORESTS, an organisation that helps to offset carbon emissions, offering all their clients’ access to The Logical Carbon Offsetting Scheme. Every time a gas or electricity meter is put into a contract, EFORESTS plant an oak tree helping offset the carbon emissions this meter will produce. This excellence in carbon offsetting has seen the firm lead the way for others to do the same, setting the example for environmentally-friendly practices. Technology is a key part of achieving sustainability and TLUC are committed to helping their clients achieve that. Having access to real-time consumption data across all individual pieces of equipment is massively helpful in improving operational efficiency and keeping track of business’ energy consumption. The firm have invested in technology that works alongside any business, monitoring usage and providing clients with live usage data.
