We are a sustainability practitioner that provides a combination of electrical equipment, software platforms and specialist consultancy to help customers reduce their emissions and become more energy efficient. Since 2018, we’ve helped customers to avoid 553 million tonnes of CO2. We practice what we preach and we’re using our own technology to become carbon neutral in operations by 2025. This was reflected when we topped TIME Magazine’s and Statista’s "World's Most Sustainable Companies for 2024" list.
