The Conduit
Through our partnership with The Conduit, we are part of a global community for changemakers that convenes business leaders, innovators and purpose-driven thinkers to catalyse meaningful solutions that will shape a just, prosperous and sustainable future.
The partnership helps to bring together business leaders, sustainability professionals, manufacturers, SMEs and other purpose-led organisations to explore practical approaches to renewable energy for business, decarbonisation and sustainable business growth.
How can manufacturers become more sustainable?
Businesses are increasingly realising that tackling their carbon footprint can give them a strategic edge in a challenging landscape. With UK industrial energy prices among the highest in the world, our partnership with The Conduit is helping manufacturers and SMEs understand how they can pull that lever and make sustainability a strategic priority.
In our first signature event hosted with the London venue, we discussed the importance of the circular economy and how on-site generation is one of the clearest levers manufacturers have.
How can practical conversations drive sustainable business?
No single organisation can solve today's sustainability challenges alone. By bringing our award-winning approach to collaboration to The Conduit, we are bringing together manufacturers, SMEs and sustainability leaders to share expertise, encourage innovation and accelerate industrial decarbonisation across Britain.
As the partnership continues to move forward and evolve, we will continue to work with The Conduit to deliver a programme of events and discussions focused on the opportunities and challenges facing manufacturers and SMEs.
We are hosting a programme of events that will focus on sectors where the opportunity to decarbonise is significant, but where cost, infrastructure and know-how remain real barriers.
We will also be participating in events where our aim is to apply our 30 years of sustainable business knowhow to fellow ethical changemakers in the business world. This will see us share practical expertise that will help businesses understand how renewable electricity can support long-term sustainability and commercial success.
How does renewable energy support manufacturing?
Having a sustainable supply chain has evolved beyond corporate social responsibility. It now plays a role in brand value, ESG performance, customer and supply chain expectations, investor confidence and progress towards national net zero targets. Across industries like automotive, packaging, construction and manufacturing, sustainability is a purchasing priority.
A recent Bain & Company survey of more than 750 global B2B buyers found that half prioritise suppliers with stronger sustainability credentials and nearly 70% plan to accelerate sustainable purchasing decisions within the next three years.
At Ecotricity Business, we are well placed to help SME and large businesses capitalise on this opportunity to enhance their carbon reduction strategy. One of the simplest steps a business can take on its green journey is to be with a deep green energy supplier. Every unit of electricity we supply is from 100% renewable sources generated right here in Britain. Furthermore, our not-for-dividend model means we use any excess profits from our bills to invest in the development of new green British infrastructure.
