All businesses, large or small, can benefit from managing energy efficiently. It’s one of the few things a business can do to guarantee ongoing cost savings. After all, if you don’t use it, you don’t pay for it.
The good news is that almost all businesses have room for improvement. There are many straightforward, tried and tested methods that can quickly cut your energy consumption and save significant amounts of money.
Using less energy reduces your carbon footprint too – and that’s good for your image as well as the environment.
If you’re ready to get started on the road to creating a more energy-efficient business, we’ve got the resources and advice you need to succeed.
Our booklet can guide you through the steps to reduce your energy spend.

One way that a business can be more responsible is through its energy use. That includes everything from being more energy efficient, to using products like SSE Green, 100% renewable electricity and gas.
But, being a responsible business is about more than just energy usage. It’s a mindset that runs all the way through an organisation. It’s not just about making money. It’s about how a company makes money.
That means embracing more responsible business practices and thinking more ethically about all the areas in society that your business touches.
This includes things like being honest, open and fair with your staff, suppliers and customers. It also means thinking more about the local community and, being part of the Living Wage Foundation – where employees earn an hourly rate above the national living wage.
Ultimately, being a responsible business is about doing the right thing. At SSE we’re trying to do what we can. -When it comes to energy usage, we have the expertise to help businesses be more responsible too.
Evidence shows that being responsible has a positive impact on business growth. In fact, according to an 18-year study by Harvard Business School*, companies with a more responsible culture outperform other businesses – in long-term financial performance and stock market growth.
Being responsible really can set a business apart from the competition. That’s because it can make a company more attractive to existing and potential staff. Not to mention, customers, suppliers and investors.
Once again, the facts from the speak for themselves. With 74% of workers more likely to look for employment at a company that’s been awarded for its ethical stance*.
Customers are more likely to buy from companies with a good track record of responsible practices too. In fact, 90% of consumers say they’re more likely to trust companies that support social and environmental issues*.
And, when it comes to both private and public sector procurement, more and more organisations are looking to see evidence of good business practice when making their decisions. The same is also true of prospective investors.
Being responsible might be about doing the right thing. Yet it’s also extremely important when it comes to the future growth prospects of any business.
For SSE Business Energy, we believe it’s important to lead by example. That means staying true to a principled approach in everything we do and taking progressive steps to ensure that we promote a culture of fairness for all the stakeholders in our business.
As an employer, we take our responsibilities seriously. We’ve championed the Living Wage – not just for our own employees but for every business that is associated with us. We invest in our people too with high-quality training and personal development.
We also play an active role in society, ensuring we make the right contribution at the right time and investing in new technologies that benefit us all.
We take an active stance on environmental issues too – investing in renewable energy with a strong commitment to creating a sustainable energy network that can be relied on in the future.

SSE Business Energy is one of the largest energy providers to British business and we believe we can play an influential role to support our customers to become more sustainable.
One way that a business can take a more responsible approach is through its energy use. That includes everything from being more energy efficient, to using products like SSE Green, 100% renewable electricity and gas.
But, being a responsible business is about more than just energy usage. It’s a mindset that runs all the way through an organisation.
For example, we know that SSE customers value, not just our service and affordable energy, but also our contribution to society. We pay our taxes in full and on time. The people we employ earn a decent living. We believe that as more businesses take a responsible approach the economy and society will benefit.
The actions we’ve already taken make sense for our business. For example, our tough position on fair tax shows our investors that we’re good at managing risk. Our Living Wage commitment improves employee engagement and retention rates. Investing in renewable energy also supports the UK’s transition to a low carbon economy.
These interventions are not just the right thing to do, they have direct business benefits and support our plans for long-term sustainable growth.
We wouldn’t claim for a second to have all the answers, but we try to support our customers and supply chain partners in their own sustainability efforts, wherever we can.

When SSE became Living Wage accredited in September 2013, we were one of only 300 in the UK, the largest FTSE 100 company to do so and only the 8th in Scotland. In 2016 we became the first large corporate Living Wage employer in Ireland.
We pay all our 21,000 directly employed staff the Living Wage or above, and every new applicable service and works contract tendered across SSE’s supply chain now includes a ‘Living Wage clause’.
We invest in our people too with high-quality training and personal development. We also play an active role in society, ensuring we make the right contribution at the right time and investing in new technologies that benefit us all.
