Groundwork's experience

The impacts of resource efficiency measures can be far reaching, but to be successful they must also be long-lasting.  This cannot be achieved solely by technological fixes. To address the ‘rebound effect’, where resource savings paradoxically result in increased consumption (e.g., spending the cost savings from home insulation on having the heating on high) - approaches that address educational and behavioural change aspects, such as the support Groundwork provides to householders, businesses and schools, detailed below - must have equal priority.

  • Housing

    Groundwork has pioneered projects to combat fuel poverty and climate change whilst creating local training opportunities.

  • Business

    Groundwork's environmental business services are helping UK businesses save money through resource efficiency improvements.

  • Schools

    Groundwork's 'One World Schools' helps pupils understand the vital role they can play in saving resources and reducing carbon emissions.
