Carbon and Sustainability Reporting for Universities and Colleges
At a time of increasing environmental accountability, universities and colleges are under growing pressure to demonstrate their sustainability credentials. Our Sustainability Reporting Framework is designed to help academic institutions meet environmental standards such as ISO14064, while building a transparent, auditable, and future proof approach to carbon and ESG reporting.
For universities, this includes tracking carbon emissions across campuses, faculties, and buildings, monitoring energy use, and aligning with net zero goals.

A Practical Guide to Energy Efficiency for UK Organisations
PwC’s Third Annual State of Decarbonization Report shows that organisations are becoming more disciplined when prioritising their energy management strategies because they deliver measurable returns while also supporting carbon reduction and improved energy performance within the business.
This guide outlines how UK organisations can use the information in the PWC report to take a practical, structured approach to improving their own energy efficiency and energy management.
Carbon Reduction Plan Guidance for Small Businesses
Small businesses are increasingly expected to show credible carbon reporting especially in public‑sector procurement, but many find carbon reporting hard to start and even harder to maintain.
This guide provides a practical approach to creating a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) that is fit for purpose for small businesses.
What is a Carbon Footprint and Why Does it Matter for Organisations?
In our guide, we explain the definition of a carbon footprint, how it is measured using internationally recognised frameworks like the GHG Protocol, and what emissions are included across Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3.
Whether you’re starting your carbon reduction journey or refining your approach, this guide provides a clear foundation.

What Recurring Energy Billing Errors Tell Us About Organisational Controls
Energy invoices are often treated as a fixed cost of operating large estates. In practice, our bureau service operational experience shows that billing errors remain common across both public and private sector organisations, including those with established finance and estates teams.
This article shares four recurring billing issues we continue to identify on behalf of our customers, and what they indicate about how energy data is governed in practice.
Why Energy Efficiency Has Become the Most Credible Net Zero Strategy
For the past decade, corporate net zero strategies have largely been defined by ambition.
However, something has recently shifted as the latest decarbonisation data shows that credibility is no longer about what organisations say they will do. It’s about what delivers measurable results today and it has become clear that energy efficiency in a net zero strategy can provide that. In our latest blog, we explore why organisations are embracing a more strategic approach to energy efficiency to support their net zero goals.
Why Energy Efficiency Is Leading Corporate Decarbonisation
Corporate decarbonisation is entering a more disciplined and commercially driven phase as organisations focus on the role energy efficiency initiatives can play in meeting carbon reduction targets.
According to PwC’s Third Annual State of Decarbonization Report, businesses are no longer focused solely on setting ambitious climate targets. Instead, organisations are looking to reduce energy demand and invest in energy management. Discover how and why organisations are prioritising energy efficiency as a central driver of corporate decarbonisation strategies.
Understanding the Latest Trends in Wholesale Energy Prices
Staying informed about the latest trends in wholesale electricity and gas prices is crucial for organisations looking to optimise their energy procurement and energy risk management. Several factors influence the UK wholesale electricity price including the intermittent nature of renewable energy, fuel costs, geopolitical events, weather conditions and supply and demand.
Discover the benefits of staying up to date with the UK wholesale energy market trends.
The Future of the UK I&C business Electricity Supplier
The UK I&C business electricity supply market has historically been built on competition driving lower costs through procurement efficiency and price differentiation. However, the market context is changing rapidly. In our latest Market Briefing, we explore how UK business electricity suppliers are evolving beyond price competition to support energy management.
UK Energy Independence Bill and the Implications for Businesses
The UK Government has announced plans to introduce an Energy Independence Bill in the May 2026 King’s Speech, signalling a renewed push to strengthen energy security while accelerating the transition to domestically produced, low‑carbon energy. The proposed legislation reflects growing concern around reliance on imported fossil fuels and the impact of global price volatility on UK businesses. Read what these changes could mean for UK businesses.
The Fall of Liberalisation in the UK Energy Market
The UK domestic energy market has entered a new phase. The recent consolidation, E.ON’s acquisition of OVO’s retail customer base, represents more than a commercial transaction; it marks a structural shift in how the market operates and how risk is managed.
This article explores what that transition means, through a longer-term, practical lens.
DESNZ announces £15.6m heat network upgrade to cut energy bills
The £15.6m investment from the UK’s Department for Energy Security and Net-Zero (DESNZ) will be used to upgrade 94 heat networks, including replacing leaky pipes, insulating pipework to minimise heat loss and replacing heat interface units (HIUs) in homes so that residents have more control over their heating.
Renewables overtake gas in global power generation for the first time
New analysis from UK think tank, Ember, found that wind and solar together accounted for 22% of global electricity generation during April, ahead of gas at 20%. The shift reflects steady growth in renewable capacity rather than a short-term response to higher fossil fuel prices following the US-Iran war.
UK Government failing to prepare UK for climate impacts, CCC warns
According to a new report by the government’s independent advisors, the Climate Change Committee (CCC), the UK is unprepared for the growing impacts of climate change, as they call for urgent action to protect homes, infrastructure and public services from worsening heat, flooding and drought.
UK should set maximum working temperature rules, advisers say
The UK should introduce a maximum temperature for workplaces to protect people as heatwaves intensify due to climate change, the government’s adviser has said.
The Climate Change Committee (CCC) said that rolling out air conditioning and other cooling technologies in schools and hospitals should be one of the government’s highest priorities.
