The UK is one of the first (if not the first) forerunners having established a mandatory process for obliging all economic entities above 250 people ro/and above 50 Million Euro turnover to undertake energy audits, evaluate total energy consumption, identify areas of significant energy consumption and prepare an energy efficiency/savings plan. If this process was effectively used in all EU countries then we probably could expect GHG to drop by at least 20%.
