With sound ESG commitments already in place, Aldermore Bank leveraged our expertise to help them develop a strategic net zero roadmap. Thanks to no-cost and low-cost measures, we’re enabling the bank to realise carbon savings of 172.6 tCO₂e, plus implement new ways of working too.

What you need to know

Aldermore Bank provides finance to business owners, homeowners and landlords, and supports savers. Our working partnership began several years ago. This involved data collection and reporting on the bank’s annual energy consumption and carbon emissions for the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) and Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR).

Confident in our approach, the bank engaged us to develop a science-based net zero roadmap, using our Measure, Prepare and Deliver framework. After calculating Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions for 2021-2022, we undertook comprehensive energy audits across all UK sites.

This all led to some interesting findings – and highlighted significant potential savings too.

We identified opportunities to reduce carbon emissions through no-cost and low-cost measures. This included behavioural changes, more efficient LED lighting, the installation of timer switches plus improved Building Management Systems (BMS).

The bottom line? Aldermore Bank looks set to save £94,955 every year.

What Aldermore Bank thought

Working with an expert partner has allowed us to move forward with confidence and we have already started to bring together a focused structure and plan to deliver our milestones. We would highly recommend Zenergi and their Measure, Prepare, and Deliver approach towards net zero."

Why it matters

A successful journey to net zero is a company-wide undertaking. That’s why Aldermore Bank felt that Zenergi’s 20 years of experience would best help them navigate the road ahead.

The great relationship forged between our respective teams continues to be an essential ingredient. A working group meets each month to ensure the net zero strategy remains on track.

What we think

We’re proud to have identified no cost and low cost measures for Aldermore Bank that are easy to introduce and also make a significant impact in both carbon and cost reduction."
