BES participants have until the 15th of November to update their Carbon Audit and watch the Management training programme online.

Failure to meet this deadline will result in a warning letter being issued, and you will be offered a further month within which to meet these requirements. Please be aware that access to future grants Schemes may require you to have an up to date Carbon Audit.

We understand there could be many factors contributing to you not meeting the Scheme requirements. For example:

• Poor internet connection
• No access to a computer due to current Covid restrictions
• Work is such that you are unable to complete the action by the deadline

If any of the above apply to your business, you must make Ricardo, our Service Provider, aware of your situation before the November deadline so that they can try to assist. Please ensure you make contact with them through the FAS helpline as soon as possible. They can be contacted either by phone or by email:
