Helping Our Clients Win Awards

As a local Christian organisation, Wombourne URC wanted to measure their carbon footprint as part of the ECO-Church award scheme. However, they had little experience in sustaniability and admitting to feeling a little overwhelmed by the technical requirements needed to calculate their carbon footprint. For this they approached GB Sustainability.

Within two weeks, GB Sustainability conducted a Scope 1 and 2 carbon footprint assessment, including accounting for the specific green energy tariffs used at the church premises. Using this as part of their application, Wombourne became the first United Reformed Church in the West Midlands Synod to receive the Gold ECO-Church Award.

"I'm not very good with figures, but GB Sustainability explained the issues well. Working with them was a very good experience, they were very knowledgeable and explained the results in an understandable way."

Elaine Roberts

Elder, Wombourne United Reformed Church
