In response to the news that the UK Government will be reducing energy bill support for businesses from April, Lindsay Ventress, Global NZT Advisory Operations Manager, at EcoAct, an Atos company, made the below comment. Lindsay is available for interview and more in-depth comments so please do reach out if that would be of interest.
“With the announcement of reductions in energy bill support from March, it has never been more important for organisations to take action to reduce energy consumption and especially to reduce energy wastage.
“Businesses ultimately can’t rely on government commitments and must take the initiative into their own hands, carefully examining and identifying energy efficiency actions that will help lower their energy bills but also reduce emissions right now. Irrespective of the industry, business leaders must scale up energy-efficient solutions across their workplaces and operations, not only to contribute to wider business sustainability strategies but also to free up funds for other parts of the company. Organisations must act on energy efficiency now to reap the benefits in the long term and protect themselves against long-term volatility.”
