Also inside is an item on page 26, where Max Langford, head of corporate sales at npower, explains how adopting an integrated energy
management strategy can play an important role in helping the public sector to achieve budget reduction targets. Finally, we have an interview with Paul Hinds, Head of Sustainability at Natural England on page 32.
