Please be aware that the results of this Health Check are to provide you with an initial energy assessment only and the report relies heavily on your responses to the questionnaires in the survey. The report you will receive should provide you with a general guide and understanding of your current energy status but Sustainable Energy Commitment/Circular Energy Group assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of information contained in the Health Check. You should consult our energy experts before making any decisions and our team can provide you with more tailored and customised advice if you want to take the next step towards a Sustainable Energy Commitment. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
