Support for your business in reducing energy
The States Assembly have agreed that there exists a climate emergency likely to have profound effects in Jersey. In response, the Carbon Neutral Roadmap was drafted and will be debated in April 2022. It commits Jersey to reach net zero emissions by 2050 with targets of a 68% reduction by 2030 and 78% reduction by 2035.
