Sir Richard Lambert, former DG of the CBI 2006-11, backs the campaign
Sir Richard Lambert, former Director General of the CBI 2006-2011, backs the campaign:
'I endorse the aims of the Close the Door campaign for retailers to increase environmental and cost savings significantly by simply closing the door while heating or cooling their shops. The many stores that already do this send out a positive message that they care about the environment, the physical comfort of staff and customers and that their profit is not adversely affected by closing the door. The campaign takes a measured approach, using hard data from Cambridge University on the very significant saving in energy and carbon emissions gained from this simple measure. Closing the door is common sense and an easy win by any standards.'

Warmer Weather and the Campaign
The warmer weather means that many shops are not using energy for heating or cooling and sensibly opening their doors for better ventilation. Meanwhile much is going on behind the scenes with planning for the hot summer and inevitable air con, and for the start of next winter. The attention of retailers to the door/energy issue always wanders at this time of year, so don't be surprised by the lull. Or by attention coming back with a bang later in the year. The campaign has very much not gone to sleep.
