How can a modern utility provider add value to your business?

WEDNESDAY 26TH JULY 2023

The right utility provider can save your business significant costs in the long run


As the saying goes: turnover is vanity; profit is sanity. And if you aren’t paying attention to business overheads such as energy, waste and water, those monthly outgoings can quickly eat into any income that your company generates. So, finding the right utility provider is essential in order to ensure that you stay in control of your monthly spending and avoid unnecessary expenditure. 

As a modern utility provider, we know that our role extends beyond providing essential services like water supply and waste collection. Our aim is to contribute to your business growth, support your sustainability goals, and assist in improving your bottom line by giving you full control – and visibility – over your running costs. 

In this article, we want to take the time to explore how a modern business utilities provider can add substantial value to your business.


Making sustainability a priority

Whether your business has set targets for carbon neutrality or is simply looking to become more sustainable in line with its values, a modern utility provider can support these initiatives. From providing green energy options and carbon offset programmes to guidance on water conservation and waste reduction, the role of a proactive utility provider is to meet and surpass your sustainability objectives. It’s also important to choose suppliers that offset their own carbon emissions. Everflow offsets 100%

Focusing on efficiency

Efficiency is a significant consideration for every business today.  And companies can optimise their energy and water usage by harnessing solutions such as smart meters, advanced energy management systems, water efficiency audits, water monitoring and efficiency products and leak and fix services. The best utility providers now incorporate these tools and services into their offering in order to provide real-time insights into consumption. This can help you identify and rectify inefficiencies before they become costly. 

An energy or water efficiency audit from an experienced consultant can also help to identify a range of energy and water saving measures that will save money and carbon emissions over time. These may include switching to low energy lighting, fitting solar panels, investing in water-saving devices, fixing invisible leaks or simply fitting timers and motion sensors around business premises.

Taking advantage of tech

In the utilities sector, we are always looking at how technology can help us to enhance our service for business customers. Whether that’s using technology to carry out billing and efficiency audits to ensure you’re not overpaying or funding a leak, or using tech to make your billing and account management simpler. 

Improved reputation

Today’s consumers care about sustainability. According to environmental awareness promoters, The Roundup, 78% of consumers feel that sustainability is an important thing to consider while shopping, and 55% of consumers are willing to pay more for eco-friendly brands. 

Investing in green energy, reducing waste and conserving water not only shows that your company cares about the welfare of the planet but it proves to potential clients and customers that you are an organisation worth doing business with. 

A forward-thinking utilities provider will understand the best way to help you not only implement sustainability initiatives but also measure and report on them where necessary.
