environmental policy

Good Energy’s mission is to empower individuals to reduce their impact on Climate Change. As an organisation, Good Energy recognises that our own activities have an impact on the environment and seeks to minimise them at all times. This environmental policy represents the guiding statement from which a wider set of detailed policies on transport, waste management and purchasing exist to ensure that Good Energy operates in an environmentally responsible way at all times.

Our environment
As a business, Good Energy recognises that we have both direct and indirect impact on our environment. We have the ability to directly control and reduce our impacts on the environment in relation to the energy we consume, the waste we produce and also the travel to business meetings made by staff. In addition, we take responsibility for the purchasing decisions we make and their related environmental impact – as an energy supplier we buy large quantities of renewable energy on behalf of our customers which meets strict environmental criteria. We also encourage our staff to walk, cycle and car-share wherever possible to reach our offices.

Our commitments
Minimise our contribution to Climate Change through taking actions to reduce energy consumption, the use of 100% renewable electricity in our offices and the use of public transport or bicycles wherever possible.

Minimise waste production through reuse and recycling initiatives.

Ensure that the environmental impacts of all purchasing decisions are considered before any product or service is bought.

Communicate clearly on our policies to customers and suppliers to raise awareness about environmental responsibility and provide our customers with advice on the efficient use of energy.

We will ensure continuous improvement by:

• Monitoring and reporting on our environmental performance every year.
• Setting targets for improvement on an annual basis.
• Listening to the feedback from our stakeholders.
• Providing training and raising awareness among employees
