National Trust Wales has been shortlisted for an international award after reducing energy use in its premises.
It is one of eight organisations confirmed as finalists in the Ashden Awards, with the group being acknowledged for cutting its dependence on energy by 41 per cent across two years, reports the Western Mail.
Sarah Butler-Sloss, founder director of Ashden, told the news provider: "Our UK finalists offer a glimpse of what a thriving low-carbon economy will look like in the future."
Ms Butler-Sloss applauded the National Trust for decreasing its energy use while managing to successfully preserve the country's heritage.
She went on to say that such stories should teach other firms of the benefits of sustainability.
Another firm that is aiming to follow in the National Trust's footsteps is SMP Acquisitions, which will introduce a new energy efficiency policy in the second quarter of this year.
It is hoped that the move will lead to reduced operating costs and a better business reputation.
