Energy efficiency labels & organisationsThe following webpage provides an overview of energy efficiency labels and organisations.
www.energysavingtrust.org.uk The Energy Saving Trust is a non-profit organisation, funded both by government and the private sector. They are one of the UK's leading organisations set up to address the damaging effects of climate change and we have offices in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. Their aim is to cut emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) by promoting the sustainable and efficient use of energy.
Almost half of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions come from energy we use every day - at home and when we travel. By saving energy we can all help prevent climate change.
If you're shopping for a new dishwasher, boiler or even just light bulbs, always look for the Energy Saving Recommended logo.

You'll find the Energy Saving Recommended logo on a wide range of products, including insulation, light bulbs and light fittings, boilers, heating controls, glazing, integrated digital televisions (IDTVs) and kitchen appliances like fridges, dishwashers and washing machines.
