Our ESG Framework

At eEnergy, our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework is designed to drive meaningful action across four key pillars: Planet, People, Prosperity, and Governance. These pillars reflect our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and ethical leadership.

Planet

Driving climate action and resource efficiency.

We’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint and tackling climate change through targeted initiatives:

• Net Zero goals: Partnering with EcoVadis to achieve Net Zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2035 and Scope 3 by 2040.
• Electric vehicles: All company cars are fully electric, eliminating internal combustion engine (ICE) options.
• Tree planting: Planting 1 million trees over the next decade, with one tree for every light fitting, solar panel, and EV charge point installed from January 2025.
• Ocean plastic awareness: Supporting the HODL Pacific Row Team, raising awareness of ocean plastics, and issuing Ocean Bottle water and coffee cups to reduce single-use plastics.
• Legacy lighting recycling: Disposing of all replaced legacy lighting responsibly, ensuring materials are recycled and reused.

People

Empowering our employees and communities.

We focus on creating a supportive, inclusive, and thriving workplace while giving back to the communities we serve:

• Employee wellbeing: Providing private healthcare, mental health support, a cycle-to-work scheme, and financial wellbeing programs.

We design and deliver sustainable products and services that support a circular economy:

ESG reporting

Transparency is vital. In line with our commitment to sustainable practices, eEnergy is working to publish its first comprehensive ESG report in 2024, aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). This report will track our performance across key environmental, social, and governance metrics, ensuring that our ESG commitments are not just aspirations but realities.
