21 October marks World Energy Saving Day, and at Procure Smart, we are encouraging organisations to embrace energy efficiency and reduce consumption. For UK businesses, this is a timely reminder to take action that benefits your bottom line and our planet.
Energy efficiency isn’t just good practice, it’s smart business. Cutting energy consumption can significantly improve your brand reputation, ESG goals and carbon-neutral targets.
Energy-efficient businesses save up to 25% on energy bills, open carbon-related tendering opportunities, and contribute to the UK’s 2050 net-zero target. But it’s not an easy goal; here are three examples of support your business can access to cut consumption and costs.
- The Energy Technology List provides businesses with a list of government-approved, energy-efficient products to help save your business energy and money. The list includes over 8,000 products, from heating, lighting, and building insulation to energy-efficient machinery for specific sectors. Take a look and see where you could upgrade to save.
- There are many funding schemes, tax breaks and loans that can help SMEs with energy efficiency improvements. Ask your local council if they provide energy efficiency funding or sustainable business growth grants. You could also ask us at Procure Smart.
- At Procure Smart, we go beyond switching contracts. We’re proud to offer a turnkey solution to guide your business on the viability, feasibility and installation of renewables projects from solar to biomass and everything in between.
This World Energy Saving Day, commit to smarter energy use. Procure Smart is here to help you reduce costs, cut carbon, and unlock new growth opportunities.
