two.1.4) Short description
In 2022, WME launched our “Use Cleaner, Use Less” campaign, designed to support our customers to use less energy, and ensuring we are procuring the cleanest energy possible. To support the “Use Less” pillar of the campaign, we have enhanced energy reporting via our customer portal, however the technical advice, guidance, and ability to provide physical decarbonisation products is outside our expertise. Accordingly, we are looking for a partner with similar ethos to WME to provide a range of decarbonisation solutions to our customers, ranging from energy audits through to the delivery and project management of large-scale decarbonisation projects such as solar installation, and provision of relevant literature, and education support to our customers via webinars, social media, newsletters etc. We are also keen to develop the partnership to include support to WME in developing additional frameworks to enhance the partnership’s future delivery.
