Somerlap takes another giant leap towards sustainability with 100% green energy supply

We are excited to announce a significant milestone in our journey towards achieving net-zero emissions. From 1st September 2024, Somerlap will be switching our energy supply to Ecotricity’s 100% green energy supply, further solidifying our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Why Ecotricity?

Ecotricity is a pioneering UK-based energy provider, dedicated to offering 100% renewable energy sourced from wind, solar, and hydro power. Their deep green energy not only powers our operations but also supports the development of new, renewable energy projects across the UK. By choosing Ecotricity, we are ensuring that every kilowatt-hour we use directly contributes to a greener future.

Green energy supply

This switch comes on the heels of a successful year where we achieved a 34% reduction in our carbon footprint, as detailed in our latest Annual Carbon Footprint Report. The report highlighted our dedication to reducing emissions through various initiatives, including significant investments in renewable energy, waste reduction strategies, and the electrification of our fleet.

By transitioning to Ecotricity’s green energy supply, we’re not just reducing our carbon footprint; we’re taking proactive steps to ensure that our energy use aligns with our values of sustainability and responsibility. This change will further reduce our Scope 2 emissions, which were already at 0% thanks to our previous 100% renewable energy contract.

A future-focused vision

Somerlap has always been a leader in sustainable practices, and this partnership with Ecotricity represents our ongoing commitment to environmental excellence. We understand that the path to net-zero is a long one, but by making strategic decisions like this, we are moving steadily towards our goal. Our switch to deep green energy is not just a compliance measure; it’s a reflection of our ethos to lead by example in the industry and contribute positively to the planet.

Looking ahead

We are proud of the progress we’ve made, but we know there’s more work to be done. As we continue to innovate and implement new sustainability initiatives, we remain dedicated to reducing our environmental impact and enhancing our operational efficiency. With the support of our partners like Ecotricity, and the commitment of our team, we are confident that we will reach our net-zero target by 2050, ensuring a better, greener future for generations to come.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue on this journey together!
