Here are just three reasons to implement a sustainability plan:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"gain-a-competitive-advantage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gain a competitive advantage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 2021 report by Deloitte found that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/uk\/en\/pages\/consumer-business\/articles\/sustainable-consumer.html\">nearly 1 in 3 consumers<\/a>&nbsp;claimed to have stopped buying from brands that they had sustainability related concerns about, and that over 40% of consumers valued practices such as waste and carbon footprint reduction. It\u2019s not just a consumer issue, either. Larger businesses are increasingly examining the sustainability of their full value chain so that they can report on their&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/blog\/scope-3-emissions-how-companies-are-greening-their-value-chains\">Scope 3 carbon emissions<\/a>. If you\u2019re tendering for contracts with public or private companies, having a credible carbon reduction plan could help you stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"become-more-self-sufficient-and-reduce-your-exposure-to-changes-in-energy-prices\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Become more self-sufficient and reduce your exposure to changes in energy prices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rise in gas and electricity prices in 2021 has already caused a cascade of difficulties for a wide range of businesses. For example, the shutting of two fertiliser plants due to high running costs exacerbated the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/money\/2021\/sep\/18\/dont-panic-business-minister-bids-to-calm-crisis-fears-as-uk-gas-prices-soar\">shortage of CO2<\/a>, with knock-on effects for the food and drinks industry, where CO2 has uses including stunning farm animals before slaughter, and preserving fresh produce. Investing in on-site renewable generation or battery storage could help lessen your exposure to peak energy prices and reduce your running costs in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"attract-new-talent-and-motivate-existing-staff\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attract new talent and motivate existing staff<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Collectively, millennials and Gen Z (people born between 1983-1993 and 1994-2003 respectively) make up around 50% of the UK workforce. This demographic is increasingly concerned with the social and environmental impact of their careers.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/uk\/en\/pages\/press-releases\/articles\/half-of-uk-millennials-and-gen-zs-feel-stressed-most-of-the-time.html\">35% of millennials and 39% of Gen Zs&nbsp;<\/a>have already made choices about the organisations they\u2019re willing to work for based on their personal ethics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"five-ways-your-business-can-work-towards-zero-carbon\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Five ways your business can work towards zero carbon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case for a greener business is compelling. But how do you put your ambitions into action? Here are five ways businesses can reduce their environmental impact and support Britain\u2019s transition to net zero:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-buy-from-a-genuinely-green-energy-supplier-or-generate-power-on-site\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Buy from a genuinely green energy supplier or generate power on site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Britain will need a higher number of renewable generators to meet increased electricity demand. Investing in on-site renewable generation can help make your business more self-sufficient \u2013 and you could even receive payments for exporting to the grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re unable to generate renewable electricity on-site, you can still support the development of renewable energy by switching to a genuinely green energy supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-create-a-net-zero-clause-in-your-procurement-policy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Create a net-zero clause in your procurement policy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses can influence others in their network to reduce their carbon emissions. One way to encourage positive change is introducing a net-zero clause in your procurement policy, committing you to sourcing from suppliers who also have net-zero targets in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You could also introduce a net-zero clause into your investment or growth policies, that make sure that any financial decisions are aligned with cutting carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-support-the-uptake-of-electric-vehicles\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Support the uptake of electric vehicles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electric vehicles (EVs) already account for around 1 in 10 new car sales, a proportion which will only increase as the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel car sales approaches. Businesses can play a significant role in driving the uptake of EVs, whether for their own use or supporting consumers. For example, some of the UK\u2019s largest fleet operators, including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/news\/6\/UK-s-largest-fleet-operators-to-switch-to-electric-vehicles-by-2030\/\">Royal Mail and BT<\/a>, have committed to switching to electric fleets this decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to supporting consumers, businesses can become part of the EV charging infrastructure by installing on-site charge points. Increased government funding should provide support with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"is--inner-block wp-block-paragraph\">The government has pledged \u00a31.3bn to further accelerate the roll out of charging infrastructure on motorways and major A roads, in homes and businesses and on-street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is--inner-block wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Renewable Nation report, page 31<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"373\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/EV_lee-searle-752-1024x373.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/EV_lee-searle-752-1024x373.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/EV_lee-searle-752-300x109.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/EV_lee-searle-752-768x280.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/EV_lee-searle-752-1536x560.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/EV_lee-searle-752-1500x547.webp 1500w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/EV_lee-searle-752.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Businesses can reduce their carbon by supporting the uptake of electric vehicles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-invest-in-zero-carbon-innovation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
