Carbon credits are an increasingly popular way for organisations to compensate for their hard-to-abate emissions, and often form a core part of broader decarbonisation strategy. The regulatory and administrative environment surrounding the carbon markets is fast evolving as sustainability becomes a core part of doing business. A few of the most recent developments are outlined below – read on to find out more.

If your company has been looking at ways to manage long-term energy costs while hitting sustainability targets, you might’ve come across the term Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA for short. But what is the big appeal?

As sustainability becomes a core part of doing business, organisations across the UK are looking for credible, cost-effective ways to reduce their environmental impact. One method to consider is carbon offsetting - but how exactly does this work, and how can it support your ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) strategy?

If you are considering how to make your business greener or more energy secure, you've probably heard a lot about solar panels and wind farms. But it's important to understand that there's another energy source that doesn’t always get the spotlight: biomass.

The UK government recently introduced significant changes to the public sector procurement process through the Procurement Act 2023.

With the cost of energy a hot topic across Europe, there has never been a more important time to discover not only what energy efficiency is, but how you can implement it specifically to suit your requirements.

Renewable energy is transforming the UK’s energy landscape, offering sustainable solutions that are key for the ambitious target of hitting net-zero emissions by 2050. Technologies such as solar, wind, and hydropower (hydro) are becoming increasingly accessible, which has led to an acceleration in the adoption of renewable energy solutions. 

At the Energy Live Consultancy Conference (ELCC) 2025, Dan Sullivan, Vice President for Mid-Market UK & Europe at SEFE Energy, joined a panel of industry leaders to explore the shifting dynamics of the energy brokerage landscape. The discussion offered valuable insights into the evolving roles of suppliers, third-party intermediaries (TPIs), and end customers amid a rapidly transforming market.

With energy costs across Europe continuing to fluctuate, the conversation for many businesses about how they run their operations has intensified. What started as a conversation around addressing sustainability has quickly turned into a financial one for many. Solar panels, once seen simply as a forward-thinking "nice to have," are now being viewed quite differently. Thanks to new incentives, lower upfront costs, and better long-term savings, investing in solar is making real sense for businesses.

Businesses, no matter the size, are rethinking how they fuel their operations, and solar panels have become a viable solution. Rising energy costs, carbon reduction targets, plus pressure from customers and investors are all pushing companies to act. But, aside from that, solar is a popular solution for a reason; it’s reliable, relatively easy to install, and over time, can ultimately pay for itself.
