The Challenge

Currently, it is very difficult to find theoretical and practical guidance from the Government as to how a business can become net zero and so EFG UK are seeking to investigate and develop a framework of guidance that will show businesses how to become net zero. They aim to do this by using EFG UK as a model and creating new business processes and operations for both their own organisation, their supply chain. This will then be used to create a new framework of guidance to help other like-minded organisations also become net zero.

As part of this EFG UK will create a new service proposition delivering genuine re-use, refurbishment and recycling of existing office and educational equipment, to extend the product lifecycle, as well as sustainably deal with any waste generated.
