Join us in creating sustainable & affordable living for all households
The Ebico Trust is a registered charity. We believe that for the UK to achieve its transition to a net zero carbon economy, sustainable living must be affordable to all households – and not just be a lifestyle choice for the better-off. Key to delivering its affordability is innovation. To encourage innovation, and so promote sustainable living for all, we nurture, encourage and support entrepreneurs with new product ideas and service concepts which will make Net Zero choices affordable for lower-income families. To help fund this ongoing effort to support innovation, we hope that successful participants in the ‘Build with Ebico’ programme will wish to make a voluntary donation of equity to be held on behalf of the charity.
