Corporate, Environmental & Social Responsibility
We’re doing our collective best to make the world more energy efficient and create a more sustainable future for all of us.
We are proud to play a major role in encouraging and facilitating the uptake of energy efficiency solutions that impact on carbon emissions as well as helping our customers save money. We are dedicated to making renewable energy technologies and other energy saving measures more accessible, including opening up the various avenues to funding to households and businesses.
Climate Challenges & Opportunities
We are thrilled to live in a country committed to tackling climate change. This creates fantastic opportunities AND challenges for us; with new schemes set up but sometimes being short-lived or replaced.
The further development and implementation of more long-term schemes in the future create opportunities that we are ready to help our customers capitalise on. Various schemes are in place and ready for implementation. These will all help homeowners access more energy efficiency measures – more affordably – and we plan to play a key part in their delivery.

Improving Access To Funding Opportunities
By quickly reacting to these changes and being the best placed to access government assistance the minute it's available, we can help with schemes including:
- Home Upgrade Grant - Now in Phase 2 to help low-income off-gas households.
- Warm Homes Discount - Our Help4Homes schemes helps vulnerable households who have real problems in overcoming the winter cold and sit outside some of our other schemes.
- ECO - We are currently in the 4th and final phase of this obligation which will run until the end of March 2026 and presents more opportunities for the Effective Energy Group.
- Boiler Upgrade Schemes - Assisting households replaces fossil fuel heating systems.
- Great British Insulation Scheme - Helping households access cheaper insulation.
- Local Energy Hubs - Providing local support to bring investment into low-carbon infrastructure projects.
- Local Authority Initiatives - Guidance for local authorities in delivering ECO in their communities.
