Sustainability and the environment becoming increasingly important for the corporate environment

Over two thirds of corporate business leaders (70%) claim the COVID-19 pandemic has made them more environmentally conscious, while three quarters (75%) feel they need to run their businesses differently with a renewed focus on flexibility and over half (59%) say that the pandemic has increased the importance of sustainability, a recent survey commissioned by B2B energy suppliers Haven Power and Opus Energy has been able to suggest.

Three quarters (75%) of those questioned feel they need to run their businesses differently, with a focus on new ways of working, and three in five (60%) are looking to offer the option of working from home as they seek to provide employees with more flexibility.

Paul Sheffield, Managing Director of Drax’s Customer’s Businesses, said: “Dealing with COVID-19 and the climate emergency is the greatest challenge the world has possibly ever faced. Business leaders recognise they need to be braver and more agile in their decision making to manage short-term priorities of stabilising their businesses and protecting employees. But they also realise that as we navigate out of lockdown, it’s more important than ever to make sure sustainability is at the heart of their operations.

Improving Buildings’ Energy Efficiency – Yet Another Way to Tackle the Climate Emergency

The HeatingSave Building Management System (BMS) will cut your energy usage by 20% to 30% with its energy management control, as its internal microprocessor constantly calculates and improves the efficiency and savings of your central heating system.

Using HeatingSave, simply choose the room temperature and the hot water you want, and when, and HeatingSave does the rest. It works with all central heating systems – oil, gas or coal – and links up with a PC to produce reports and graphs to fashion a powerful and
complete energy management system.

Furthermore, the BMS system includes comprehensive access control and lighting control features, as well as an advanced smartphone app that grants you extensive control functions and comprehensive alerts at the touch of a button.

The system is backed by the Energy Savings Trust.
