Low carbon and environment business directory

The terms low carbon, clean, green, environmental, sustainable, and circular economy are frequently used with reference to companies within the industrial base.  The term Low Carbon and Environmental Goods and Services sector (LCEGS) is used here and throughout Advanced Oxford’s research and report: Powering up for the green recovery. LCEGS is defined by the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) as providing “environmental products and activities, renewable energy and emerging low carbon activities such as alternative fuels, building technologies, nuclear power and carbon finance.”  Companies within our directory sit across a range of industrial sectors. In addition, Advanced Oxford has looked to identify the companies that are knowledge-based in their approach.  This means that the company is based on research, scientific knowledge and expertise, engineering, information technology and services, data, analysis or frequently a combination of these factors.  To help drill down into the list of companies, Advanced Oxford has drawn up a list of broad classifications to identify the purpose or approach of the company.  These are not sector definitions, as defined by ONS.  Data on employment levels, reported as full time equivant (FTE) staff numbers, is difficult to find for most companies.  Within the Directory we have attempted to place each company within a size bracket, based on the number of employees.
