Donate Your Energy is a scheme to help your company cut its energy bill by providing incentives to staff to save energy. The incentive provided to staff is that your company agrees to donate a proportion of the energy cost savings to a charity/ies selected by the staff. In this way staff feel that they are contributing something to the greater good instead of just saving energy to save the company money.

Research has shown that people can be motivated through contributing to good causes when participating in energy saving actions. This provides an additional incentive to people to save and ‘donate their energy’ to charitable or other community based organisations.

Donate Your Energy is currently being carried out on a pilot basis.

To your company:

Cuts your energy bill
Lowers your tax bill
Improves your company image through corporate social responsibility
Improved teamwork and better morale amongst your staff

To staff:

Personal satisfaction, knowing that they are contributing to a good cause
Participation in a worthwhile initiative through teamwork

• Your company establishes its pre-campaign baseline energy consumption.
• Suitable charities for donations and the proportion of energy savings to be donated are agreed and ‘Covenants’ signed between the company and the charity during a high profile event.
• When the campaign is implemented and the savings achieved, the donation to the charity is made at a special presentation event.
  
  

If you’re interested in cutting your energy bills by raising energy awareness in your company through company donations, we can provide you with support to help you implement a campaign. You get independent advice from consultants with a wealth of experience of working on energy awareness campaigns.

Once your programme is in place, we will help you to monitor your savings and calculate the difference you are making in terms of cost savings.

The partner organisation in your country has an established track record in delivering energy saving initiatives and can provide tailored advice on implementing your campaign.

Donate Your Energy is currently being carried out on a pilot basis in selected companies. If you wish to participate this may involve costs.
