Last week’s blog post was all about why going green as a business is essential. With a brief mention on the benefits of renewable energy in businesses. Going green is something many business owners should consider. Regardless of their size, industry or geographical location.

What Are the Benefits of Renewable Energy?

Apart from offering a free, inexhaustible, naturally replenished supply of energy. Renewable energy has many benefits, especially commercially. It produces no negative greenhouse gas emissions and requires no burning of fossil fuel. Making it the ultimate choice when looking to upgrade the way in which we power and/or heat our businesses.

As mentioned, there are a number of advantages when making use of renewable energy. Below are some benefits which we have decided to explore.

Great Brand Image and Better Competitive Advantage

A good brand image is a fundamental aspect to consider when looking to build a successful business. Your business is so much more than just the product or service. It is the first impression consumers have of your business, and we all know first impressions last a lifetime. In most cases, it is the reason why consumers take action, and make the choice to pick a certain company and its product/service. Through the use of renewable energy, businesses are able to noticeably improve on their brand image. This ultimately gives them a better competitive advantage, and we all know what that means. Introducing renewables to your business also gives it the opportunity to rebrand itself in a positive light.

Improved Productivity and Significantly Lowered Running Costs

It’s no secret that renewable energy is free. On top of that, most renewable energy technologies provide a much higher efficiency compared to your standard, traditional, fossil fuels systems, are low maintenance and have a long lifespan. This of course means improved productivity, reduced energy bills and minimal service/replacement payments.

Healthier Working Environment for Your Employee’s and Better Recruitment

No carbon emissions being released equals no air pollution and a healthier working environment. It is estimated that 30% of our life is spent at work. With such a high number. Having a healthy working environment is of importance. Moreover, upgrading to the use of renewable energy to power and/or heat your business attracts potential employees. People want to work for a company who considers their employees working conditions, whose success is based on constructive aspects, and who have a drive to make a positive difference. In most instances, companies are able to attract the crème de la crème of applicants. This makes a business’s workforce strong, proficient and successful.

Future Compliancy

We are all aware of the UK government’s pledge of Net Zero by the year 2050. But it seems every time there is an international meet, ways in which goals can be pushed forward are explored. Furthermore, this year’s COP26 will focus heavily on climate change and will present ways in which the climate crisis can be tackled by fast-tracking cooperation between governments, BUSINESSES and civil societies.

Being net zero compliant is inevitable. Renewable energy is becoming increasingly popular and will be the norm. Upgrading your business to the use of renewable energy now will bring many great benefits. Including early experience and knowledge, giving you the upper hand in most situation.

Financial Incentives Through Government and Investment Attraction

If the above mentioned is not enough of a reason to jump on board, then continue reading. Businesses, big or small, are also able to profit from various government backed incentives. These allow for big savings and a lengthily list of advantages. Including environmental taxes, reliefs and even financial payments.

Apart from this, there is also the idea of attracting potential investors, particularly when you are an early adopter. Regardless of the industry you are in. Choosing to enhance your business with renewable energy while it is still fresh, can prove how advanced and responsive you are. Creating interest for investors looking to capitalise into something worthwhile and innovative.

Contributes Towards Protecting The Planet From Complete Crisis

Perhaps one of the most convincing benefits of switching to the use of renewable energy is due to its contribution in protecting the planet. It puts an end to the burning of fossil fuels, which is massively leading us to a complete climate crisis and an end to survival on Earth.
