Are you thinking about how to reduce your business’s carbon footprint but aren’t too sure where to start? Here are some ways to start your business on its decarbonisation journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We understand that small business owners have many responsibilities, and focusing on the sustainability of their business operations may feel time-consuming. That’s why we’ve partnered with Greener for Business<\/a>, a cleantech startup dedicated to helping businesses on their decarbonisation journey. Greener’s solution offers a straightforward plan to help small and medium sized business get going on their journey to net-zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply sign up<\/a>, answer a questionnaire and get your step-by-step action plan<\/a> as well as unlocking expert advice and exclusive offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the easiest ways to start your decarbonisation journey is by switching to 100% GreenPower<\/a>.\u00a0 This means the equivalent amount of electricity from GreenPower-accredited renewable sources<\/a> is sourced to match 100% of your electricity usage, which will go back into the energy grid. When you join Greener for Business<\/a>, you\u2019ll unlock an exclusive electricity offer which includes 100% GreenPower<\/a> at no added cost*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We know how important it is for small to medium business owners to make financial decisions that are smart and efficient. Investing in solar<\/a> allows you to reduce your electricity bills by harnessing energy from the sun during the day, which is when many businesses are typically using the most electricity. And with the development of alternate payment options, businesses now have more flexibility when it comes to purchasing a solar system<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond reducing your overheads, solar is a great way to help your business reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and reach your decarbonisation goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You might also be eligible for the Small Business Incentive program.<\/a> From 1 July 2023 until 30 June 2024, eligible small businesses with an annual turnover of less than $50 million can receive a bonus 20% tax deduction for assets that support electrification and the more efficient use of energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you really want to boost your cleaner energy credentials, and reduce your businesses reliance on the energy grid, it may be worthwhile adding a battery to your solar setup<\/a>. Batteries capture and store unused energy generated by your solar panels for you to use when the sun isn\u2019t shining \u2013 like during the evening. Our Solar Experts<\/a> can help tailor a solar package<\/a> to your business’s needs \u2013 handling the process end to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your business has a fleet of vehicles, electrifying it is another way you can reduce your emissions and start to decarbonise your business. And with an increasing selection of car models, charging options and financial incentives \u2013 now\u2019s a great time to consider EVs for your business.Choose an energy plan with GreenPower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
