Premises efficiency support

Retrofit training programme

Supporting you to understand how to make your business premises more energy efficient.

What is retrofit?

Retrofitting means changing existing buildings to make them more energy efficient; making changes to the fabric of our buildings, our technology and our behaviour in those buildings. This is focused on energy reduction: ensuring that the building needs less energy to heat and power it, and energy generation: ensuring that the energy required to heat and power the building comes from less carbon intensive sources.

We need to retrofit the building stock across the UK, to lower the carbon emissions produced from running them, and to provide cleaner, healthier places for people to live and work.

NatWest Group is proud to partner with the Supply Chain Sustainability School Retrofit training programme.
