There’s no doubt about it: energy is a massive contributor to savings across the bottom line and it’s why UK companies should be paying close attention to ESOS and the associated benefits.

Introduced in 2015 and a part of the Energy Efficiency Directive from the European Union, ESOS is the UK strand of that plan to reduce consumption in this country and we’re fast approaching the December 2019 deadline for phase 2 of compliance.

With Brexit just a year away, some companies will be thinking “why bother?” But that couldn’t be further from the truth. The Brexit transition period goes beyond the ESOS deadline, meaning fines for non-compliance plus we should be proud that the UK is seen as a leader when it comes to energy efficiency. Let’s build on that for future generations because, whether we like it or not, increases in asthma rates and air quality are coming from somewhere. If you removed all of the boilers in London it would be the equivalent of taking half the cars off the road in the capital, so ESOS is a real driver for improved wellbeing.
