Cynergin are pleased to announce that they have received accreditation from the Carbon Trust under the Carbon Management Energy Efficiency (CMee) Programme. This is a company-wide accreditation and requires a high degree of expertise in Carbon and Energy Management across a broad range of markets and technologies. Qualities such as strategic capability, change management and delivery capabiliy are fundamental as well as a track record of delivering major energy and carbon management projects.

This accreditation is in addition to the consultant-specific accrediations already held by key members of staff.

The Carbon Trust has recently expanded its Consultant Accreditation Scheme to broaden the range of expertise across its consultant network and improve service delivery to businesses and public sector organisations looking to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

The Programme will create a robust network providing organisations working with the Carbon Trust access to expertise across technical, non-technical, business and change management consultancy. The Accreditation Scheme, effective from March 2007, comprises four Accreditation Categories representing groups of related Carbon Trust products; Carbon Opportunity Identification, Carbon Solution Development, Low Carbon Design Advice and Carbon Management.

Tim Lancaster, Director of Operations commented: "The threat of climate change means the drive to reduce carbon emissions is now essential for all organisations. The Carbon Trust continually strives to improve the effectiveness and range of services we offer. By expanding our accreditation scheme we are looking to attract the breadth of top consulting talent necessary to help us give the best business advice. The range of services we offer and the diverse organisations we work with need to be supported by a consultant network equipped with expertise in the right areas. We are confident this initiative will help us move forward in the drive to a low carbon economy." Nick Ray, Director of Cynergin Consultants, was delighted by the outcome. "We are very pleased to receive this accreditation. We are a process-driven company with considerable experience in many aspects of energy and carbon management inlcuding ESCO contracts, PFI and Carbon Management programmes. We have recently produced the business case for the Carbon Masterplan for the Natural History Museum and its partners at the South Kensington Cultural & Academic Estate which secured £2.9m of HM Treasury support. We believe that this project, together with our experience with ESCO contracts, puts us in a strong position to assist many organisations develop and implement their Carbon and Energy Management Programmes."
