Is your business snubbing energy efficiency?

In 2015 it was recorded that only a tenth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) reduced their energy usage compared to the year before.

A recent survey published by Scottish Power reports SMEs are making ‘little progress with energy saving’. It’s surprising because new energy saving technologies have been more accessible in the last 5 years than ever before and these SME’s are not seizing the opportunity to save money on their running costs.

It’s said, 60% of SME owners ‘don’t think energy efficiency in the workplace is a key priority’ and only half of them enforce measures to increase energy efficiency in the workplace. 

The report further stated that only one in 10 SMEs perform energy audits to keep track of what they’re using each year.

The Carbon Trust continues to campaign about energy efficiency and urges all SMEs to take control of their energy outgoings.

“Energy saving is an easy win. Cutting money off the bottom line is a great way to increase profitability. But although there is often a considerable opportunity to reduce overheads, in most companies this often gets overlooked.” – Richard Rugg, Managing Director, The Carbon Trust
