We believe in contributing to our community. Here are some examples of initiatives ranging from the global to the local.
Core Business
Our core business is reducing energy consumption, thereby reducing the community’s drain on limited resources, reducing local pollution and water use near power stations, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the consequences of climate change. Reducing energy use, also reduces the operating costs of client organisations, and reduces the investment the community must make in energy generation and distribution infrastructure. While we are reducing energy use, we are normally able to achieve other “social” goals, such as making equipment safer, working conditions more comfortable, etc, thus rounding out the triple bottom line goals of environmental, financial and social sustainability.
Planned Giving
In 2004, we moved from ad-hoc charity donations to a planned giving system.
Pro Bono
We provide free or reduced price services to some charities and community organisations, to help them to reduce the amount of energy they purchase and so free funds for their community work. Please contact us if you would like to discuss energy management in a community organisation or charity.
Local Community Building.
We encourage community building in the area of our offices by facilitating informal gatherings of other local businesses.
We provide discounted office rentals for start-up businesses with a positive community benefit.
