About Us

Changeworks’ vision is for a world where everyone is able to live, work and enjoy life with a low-carbon impact. We recognise climate change is the most significant threat to the environment and our way of life.  

We develop and deliver high impact solutions to make low-carbon life a positive reality for everyone. 

Changeworks is a leading organisation dedicated to decarbonising Scotland’s homes and a just transition to net zero. We deliver services in energy advice, retrofit management, and decarbonisation solutions, alongside independent consultancy.

We work collaboratively with partners, organisations and householders to drive transformation in energy efficiency and to tackle fuel poverty. 

Find out more about what we do 

Changeworks’ strategy is clear and simple – to decarbonise Scotland’s homes. 

The Scottish Government has set a legally binding target for net zero emissions of all greenhouse gases by 2045. Scottish homes account for 13% of the country’s emissions, and the energy efficiency of many of these homes need to be improved. 

So, the work to decarbonise Scotland’s homes must take place now.

Led by Chief Executive Josiah Lockhart, our directorate is comprised of individuals with a wide range of expertise and experience, from the environmental, social and construction sectors.
