Sustainability

The way we choose to live our lives is having an effect on our environment. Climate change is possibly the most pressing matter of our time and everyone has a part to play in addressing the issue.  Its effects are global but the key to success lies with individual action at a local level.

 

Our Sustainable Development department provides advice and support services to householders, communities and businesses.
Our projects cover a wide range of sustainability issues providing a one stop shop with free, impartial, quality advice on reducing our impact on the environment through energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable transport, recycling and waste minimisation.

We work in partnership with key organisations at a local and national level including the Scottish Government, Energy Saving Trust, Carbon Trust, local authorities and housing associations to ensure our activities use existing resources to maximise the impact of the work we do. We all have a part to play in the solution to the problems of climate change and the Wise Group can support you to take the first steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
