A vision for sustainability
The decision to opt for renewable electricity was driven by a deep commitment to reducing carbon emissions, protecting the environment, and engaging its employees in a meaningful sustainability journey. Bible Society has proudly integrated these principles into operations, ensuring that today’s actions benefit future generations.
Partnering for a sustainable future
To align energy consumption with its mission, Bible Society chose SmartestEnergy Business as its renewable energy supplier. SmartestEnergy Business’ trusted reputation, coupled with dedicated customer support, made it the ideal partner for the charity’s sustainability efforts. SmartestEnergy Business’ green credentials, including The Carbon Trust verification, also resonated with Bible Society’s ethical approach to stewardship.
By choosing SmartestEnergy Business, Bible Society not only reduced its carbon footprint but also contributed to climate action projects, ensuring its energy consumption supports broader environmental goals. The charity can use its renewable commitment and net zero badges in annual reporting, showcasing tangible efforts to achieve sustainability targets.
Sustainability at the heart of their operations
Bible Society has integrated various sustainability initiatives alongside its renewable electricity contract. Bee hives have been introduced, wild areas have been developed to encourage biodiversity, and a range of waste reduction and sustainable sourcing initiatives have been implemented. The office has been equipped with LED lighting, while hybrid vehicles further its commitment to reducing environmental impact.
While the age of the building and the costs of some green solutions posed challenges, the charity found creative ways to overcome these barriers through careful tendering and thoughtful decision-making. Its efforts has resulted in significant reductions in energy consumption, particularly through the switch to LED lighting and hybrid pool cars.
Encouraging others to go green
Bible Society’s approach to sustainability is simple but effective: “Start simple, make lots of little, incremental steps — and think before you buy or commit to anything!” The charity believe that every small action can contribute to long-term change, and encourage other organisations to embrace the transition towards green energy as an easy, impactful first step.
Renewable energy powers their progress
Since adopting SmartestEnergy Business’ 100% renewable electricity plan, Bible Society has made a measurable impact, including a noticeable reduction in energy consumption and carbon footprint. Its employees are highly supportive of these efforts, and the charity proudly includes its sustainability achievements in the annual reports. Building on these successes, Bible Society is continually striving to make further progress, with plans to explore PV panels and improvements to the heating system.
Committed to a greener legacy
Bible Society remains dedicated to pushing forward with its sustainability goals. The charity believe that leaving a positive legacy for future generations is crucial, and are committed to continuing its green journey with SmartestEnergy Business by its side. This thoughtful, incremental approach is a testament to its determination to be responsible stewards of the environment — for today, and for the years to come.
