Nearly ALL Companies Will Fail To Meet Targets Without Doubling Rate of Carbon Emissions reductions by 2030

* 19% of UK adults would never apply for a job with a company that doesn’t prioritise sustainability.

* 14% of employees say that the survival of their place of work is now under threat due to a lack of government support for businesses and their energy bills.

* 14% have now taken sustainability into their own hands at work as they feel their place of work does not address the wider issue.

The current economic and geopolitical landscape has left futile grounds for businesses fighting to meet environmental targets. Growing energy price inflation and supply chain insecurity are pushing commitments out of reach for millions, as the nation loses confidence in the collective ability to meet net zero by 2050. Despite the public commitment to sustainability, only 7% of companies are on track to achieve their net zero targets for scope 1 and 2 emissions, with 93% set to fail unless carbon reductions are accelerated drastically by 2030. 

SaveMoneyCutCarbon is a pioneering company dedicated to driving sustainability and making the goal of net zero a reality for millions of businesses.

As the UK's leading sustainability consultants, they have a proven track record of helping businesses save money while reducing their carbon footprint. Their innovative six-step plan, combined with the launch of their cutting-edge app EcoWise, sets them apart from others in the industry.
 

1. Carbon Mentor call: Every business is assigned a dedicated Carbon Mentor who works closely with them to understand their current situation and decarbonization ambitions.

2. Baseline report: Through their platform, SaveMoneyCutCarbon generates an easy-to-understand Scope 1 and Scope 2 baseline carbon footprint for businesses, providing guidance on Scope 3 and Scope 4 (staff carbon literacy).

3. Built Environment Audit: SaveMoneyCutCarbon's expert team conducts comprehensive audits of buildings to identify opportunities for cost savings, energy efficiency, water conservation, and carbon reduction.

4. Project Financing: They assist businesses in creating investment-grade proposals and tailored finance options to support their sustainability projects.

5. Project Delivery: SaveMoneyCutCarbon provides end-to-end solutions, including design, supply, and installation of proven products and solutions that contribute to energy efficiency and carbon reduction.

6. Staff Engagement: With their innovative EcoWise app and program, SaveMoneyCutCarbon promotes measured and rewarded learning, enhancing carbon literacy among employees and improving staff engagement in sustainability initiatives. 

Birmingham County Football Association (BCFA)

One such example that benefitted from SaveMoneyCutCarbon's service is BCFA which set an ambitious net zero commitment by 2030 and the generation of power via a solar roof array would be a big step in achieving that. Alongside over 50 organisations across the West Midlands region, they committed to the WM Net Zero Business Pledge and launched its Save Today, Play Tomorrow programme for low-carbon football.

SaveMoneyCutCarbon worked with the team to supply and install a 19.98kW solar PV system at its offices with a smart SolarEdge Inverter to maximize energy production, safety and reliability, and online PV monitoring.

The result? An annual carbon reduction of over 4 metric tonnes, an ROI of 2 and half years and well over  £16,000 kWh in energy savings.  
 

What is EcoWise? 

Heralding the first employee-facing programme of its kind, SaveMoneyCutCarbon’s EcoWise offers a year-long course for employees and business owners to lower their carbon output at work and at home. Consisting of carbon literacy assessments and educational articles, explicitly informing how staff can go about inciting change in their behaviour to be more sustainable, users are able to gain rewards, or Planet Points for them to spend in the Home Shop, at their leisure. Companies can then see quantifiable data on the progress of companies ESG strategies so they can see their progress in real-time.
 
Unlike any other platform, EcoWise provides the tools and technologies to make these changes - from eco-friendly daily consumable swaps to a full home retrofit. The application offers customer support and financing to remove all existing barriers on the road to net zero.

Corporate sustainability expert, Mark Sait, CEO & founder of the service, reveals results in their sustainability programmes have already helped businesses save 32 million kilowatt hours of energy, 772 million litres of water and 24 million tonnes of carbon reduction for over 1000 projects to businesses across the UK. 

Mark Sait, the CEO/founder of SaveMoneyCutCarbon, comments on why the responsibility of taking action on climate change lies in the hands of business owners, HR and training staff:

“Given the cost-of-living crisis and the escalating climate emergency, when funding stands still, it goes backwards. With schemes popping up and expiring in the last decade, it’s hard to get a measure of the total value of grants offered over time. In all cases, these schemes are usually time bound and subject to whims or changing administrations. They can only ever be part of the solution.

“It is crucial for employers to understand the generations who are increasingly turning away from roles who do not prioritise ESG goals, but further to continue to drive progress on the challenges that matter most to them. This will not only help boost productivity and retain talent—it will ultimately build trust and value for business in society more broadly.

“Our young generation of workers are looking for employers that can help empower them to make a difference. Organizations that actively listen and help address their needs and concerns will improve business resiliency and implement actionable change in our world.

“It is vital for UK businesses and homeowners to be aware of the funding options available to them. But it is a mistake to rely only on these schemes – and SaveMoneyCutCarbon demonstrates that saving money on your bills, and reducing carbon emissions, now go hand in hand. With our EcoWise programme businesses can help both attract and retain talent in line with these new reports – not only will it boost staff morale but contribute to our wider net zero goals.”
