THE ENVIRONMENT


COMMITED TO QUALITY

Our wealth of experience means that Express Electrical Distributors Ltd. can bring you incredible energy savings, normally between 40% and 70%.

Our specialists offer a free survey or your current energy consumption and will identify savings. You will be supplied with a detailed report outlining:

■ Current kilowatt usage

■ Total kilowatt saving

■ Percentage reduction in electrical bill

■ Payback period

■ Reduction of climate change levy

■ Grant and loan advice and application

Furthermore, we can advise on the purchase of equipment from the Energy Technology List (ETL), which specifies the energy saving technologies and products that qualify for an Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA). The Government set up the ECA Scheme to encourage energy saving investments.

An ECA provides upfront tax relief, enabling businesses to claim 100% first year capital allowances against their taxable profits. This can deliver a cash flow boost and shorten the payback period on investment.

Environmental StatementAs an environmentally aware organisation, we recognise that concern for the environment is an integral and fundamental part of our business. To reflect this we have developed management systems to minimise the impact our business has on the environment to ensure compliance with all relevant legislation.

Buying Team Quality Policy StatementWe recommend that all projects are handled by our registered energy management systems contractor. From initial survey to completion we do everything. It will reduce your costs and meet your targets generated by ISO 18001. For further details and a free no obligation report email Mark at [email protected] In an age when it is essential to cut energy costs to combat climate change, we are fully supportive of the role of the Carbon Trust, an independent Government backed organisation that helps businesses and public sector organisations.

Like them, we address strategic issues associated with climate change. In addition to cost savings, the results are clarity around responses to legislation and corporate reputation and brand enhancement.

By cutting carbon emissions it is possible to capture the commercial potential of low carbon technologies.WORK ENVIRONMENT
