e3

As part of our commitment to help our small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) customers to reduce their carbon footprints and cut costs, our key focus is through our e3 (energy, efficiency and environment) proposition. It’s a simple product that helps businesses become more energy efficient and at the same time reduce their costs – a key consideration in today’s economic climate.

Our e3 package includes a free energy monitor that measures energy usage and costs on a daily basis. It also includes other tools and advice that can help reduce energy bills and CO₂ emissions at the same time.

In 2008, we took e3 directly out to business customers as part of our innovative e-force campaign. Our aim was to demonstrate how simple and cost effective actions can lead to significant energy savings.

During the year, we also announced a partnership with Earthwhile to launch a dual-branded online shop for practical energy-efficient and energy-saving products. And to encourage business take-up, we provided a 20% introductory discount for all new e3 customers.

In 2009 and beyond, we’ll be looking at new and innovative ways to encourage people to join e3.
