Are rising costs causing stress in your business?
You’re not alone. Many businesses like yours are wasting up to 20% of the energy they use.
Now, thanks to one tool, the energy you use to power your business is a cost you can control.
Using less energy also means you’re improving your carbon footprint.
And that can help you attract staff and customers who care about who they do business with.
Welcome to the Energy Management Journey tool.
There are just 3 steps you need to follow. It’s quick and easy to take action and the savings go straight into profit.
1. Work out what you need to know.
Just enter your sector, business size and energy spend, and tell us what you’re doing now to manage your energy use.
Our tool will tell you how much you could save, and where you should focus - what’s costing you the most, and what you can do about it.
2. Decide what action you’ll take.
Work out where you want to focus. Don’t waste time on small things, target bigger costs to get the most savings.
We’ll show you how you stack up against other businesses like yours and give you savings tips in a personalised plan.
