Viridor Credits welcome Lisa to the team
Welcome to Viridor Credits’ website
It’s good to welcome you to our website.
Please note that we have moved offices and our new contact details can be found here.
We’d like to tell you a bit about Viridor Credits and our work in supporting environmental and community-based projects while you’re here. Most importantly we’re just on the other end of the phone so you can find out if it's possible to turn your idea into something of real benefit to your community.
Viridor Credits’ job is to distribute some money that Viridor would otherwise pay as Landfill Tax on rubbish it disposes of at its landfill sites. We do this through the Landfill Communities Fund, previously known as the Landfill Tax Credits Scheme or LTCS and we’re always looking out for suitable projects to fund.
The LTCS was started in 1996 and not long after Viridor took advantage of the scheme and started to select and process applications for the funds it had to offer. In time, Viridor Credits was formed to handle the work on its behalf. This money is available for projects and communities usually within ten miles of Viridor's landfills.*
By the end of September 2008 we’d given away over £60 million and supported over 1000 community and environmental projects.
As you explore our website, you can learn where this money went, who benefited, and how you might be able get a share of our funds for 2008/2009. You could also pick up some good ideas that will help you to create a great project that we’d be delighted to support.
I hope you enjoy your visit here, and look forward to welcoming you back.
Best wishes,
Lisa Nelson
General Manager, Viridor Credits
