Making your business more sustainable

As a business owner, you’re probably looking for ways to make your organisation more sustainable, not only to support the environment, but also boost your reputation, and make your business more attractive to both employers and customers. Here are a few ways you can make your business more environmentally-friendly, and how we can help! 

Switch your fleet to EVs 

If you operate a fleet, making the switch to EVs is an excellent way to work towards fulfilling sustainability goals. The transport sector is the most significant contributor to CO2 emissions and air pollution in the UK, accounting for 34% of carbon dioxide emissions in 2022, so switching your fleet to EVs is an impactful way to reduce your emissions contribution. Switching to a fleet of EVs can cut your operational emissions by up to 70%. 

We’ve partnered with Allstar Business Solutions to offer simple payment solutions for fleets, and have our own brilliant teams of engineers, sales professionals and account managers to make sure you’re supported and informed every step of the way. Read more about EV charging for fleets here. 

Install EV charge points at your business 

To operate an electric fleet, you’ll need to install EV charge points at your place of business. There are governmental incentives, including the Workplace Charging and Salary Sacrifice Schemes, to ease the process and expense of this. Furthermore, our Novuna partnership means you’re able to pay for your electric car chargers and installation over 10 interest-free payments, making the switch to EV even more accessible for business owners.

Even if you’re not operating a fleet, installing EV charge points at your workplace is an excellent step towards improved sustainability for any business. Having EV charge points available at a workplace encourages staff to commute in EVs, by providing them with a place to easily charge up during the day. 

Salary Sacrifice Schemes offer a number of tax and personal benefits savings, by letting employees pay for their EV from their gross salary before tax. According to SalSac, our Salary Sacrifice Scheme partner, a car salary sacrifice can save employees upwards of 40% when compared to leasing a car personally, with the highest savings attributed to fully electric cars. We work with SalSac to offer a fully fitted EV home charger with every SalSac. The payment of EV chargers is spread over the entire lease term - either 24 or 36 months. You can find out more about SalSac and EV charging for business here.  

We understand that as a business owner you have to consider the financial impact of any new investment, so we’ve outlined the costs of installing EV charge points at your business in this handy guide.
