Powering Your Business Sustainably: Choosing the Right Energy Supplier

Renewable Energy Certificates: The Gold Standard

A robust method to ascertain a supplier’s commitment to renewable energy is through Guarantees of Origin (GO) certificates. These certificates are a testament that the electricity provided is derived from renewable sources, such as solar, wind, or hydroelectric power.

By choosing energy backed by GO certificates, businesses can rest assured that they are contributing to the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure and diminishing their dependence on non-renewable, carbon-emitting fossil fuels.

Going Beyond the Certificate

While GO certificates are an excellent indicator of a supplier’s renewable energy procurement, they are just the beginning. It is imperative to investigate further into the supplier’s sustainability practices. Look for tangible evidence of their investment in renewable energy projects, their proactive measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and their engagement in broader environmental and social responsibility initiatives.

A supplier that is genuinely sustainable will exhibit a comprehensive approach to sustainability, one that extends beyond the mere purchase of renewable energy credits.

Transparency and Reporting of Energy Suppliers

Transparency is a cornerstone of genuine sustainability efforts. Credible suppliers should be forthcoming with detailed information about their energy mix, including the proportion of renewable energy within their portfolio, and their strides towards achieving sustainability objectives. Seek out suppliers that not only offer thorough reporting but also embrace accountability for their environmental impact.

Aligning with Your Business Values

It is of paramount importance that your energy supplier’s values and practices are in harmony with your company’s ethos. Reflect on the supplier’s dedication to ethical business conduct, their support for community initiatives, and their commitment to the welfare of their employees. A provider that resonates with your company’s values is more likely to be a steadfast partner in your sustainability endeavors.
