The Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) is a mandatory emissions trading scheme that aims to deliver energy (and carbon) savings in large, non energy intensive organisations. It is enabled via the Climate Change Act which became law in November 2008. The scheme is expected to come into force on 1 April 2010 and to run on financial years (i.e. April to March). Suitable for: Individuals in the public or private sector that think their organisation might be covered by the CRC and that want to know what they should do to comply with it. This could include individuals responsible for energy, sustainability/ CSR, budgeting, policy compliance and climate change strategies.
