In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on the use of renewable energy sources. According to research from Cornwall Insight, small medium enterprises (SMEs) have a growing interest in using renewable energy, while consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the companies they decide to support. Here are a few ways that switching to renewable energy sources can positively impact your business.
Cost-Efficient Energy Sources
According to a report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), newly installed renewable energy sources increasingly cost less than the cheapest power generation options based on fossil fuels.
Traditionally, one of the stumbling blocks for using renewable energy has been the installation costs. However, as installation and maintenance costs decrease, it becomes increasingly cost-efficient to cut down on your carbon footprint.
In a nutshell, using renewable energy sources can help to cut costs for your business!
Improved Public Perception
Today, consumers are increasingly aware of the companies and products that they choose to support. Customers expect companies to act ethically, in a way that represents their values. Reducing your carbon footprint as a business can improve the public perception of your company, and even attract new customers, particularly important for public facing companies.
Cutting emissions can also demonstrate an increasing awareness of corporate social responsibility to consumers and stakeholders alike.
