The Archdiocese of Birmingham has made a commitment to care for creation. Our energy utilities are procured at a national level through Inter-Diocesan Fuel Management Ltd (IFM), who represent a number of Catholic Dioceses in the UK. The majority of Diocesan buidings use IFM for their gas and electricity.

IFM is the single largest purchaser of green gas, which is both renewable and largely carbon neutral. The electricity supply is also 100% renewable from wind and hydro.

The Archdiocese's target is for 100% of parish buildings to be buying their energy through IFM.
