We caught up with Binn Group, who has been an SSE Energy Solutions customer for over five years, to find out how SSE helps them fulfil their sustainability goals.
Binn Group: Partners in powering change:
As a recycling and waste management organisation, Binn Group is an advocate for renewable energy.
The family-owned business takes its responsibilities seriously, ensuring that its sustainability efforts touch every aspect of its business, starting at the supply chain and extending to the local community.
For Binn Group, it wasn’t just about finding an energy supplier. It was finding a partner who shared the same green credentials.
Audrey Duckworth, the company’s head of Environment, discussed finding a partner with an aligned ethos: "I think collaborative working is especially important. There are other companies within your area and if you reach out to them you realise there are loads of connections that can be made.
"SSE Energy Solutions has such good sustainability targets and objectives, that align perfectly with ourselves, so having that partnership really helps us drive our business forward into the future."
Alongside its own on-site renewable generation methods, SSE Energy Solutions supports them as a customer with 100% renewable electricity* from SSE’s own º£½ÇÊÓƵ wind farms and hydro plants. As a result of this collaboration, the Binn Group can report zero carbon emissions for electricity.
John Ferguson, an environmental scientist for over 45 years and the organisation’s head of Strategy, said: "SSE Energy Solutions is our partner and our principles are very similar. We want to be powered by 100% green energy and we’re very proud to work with SSE. We will continue to contribute to part of that transition to a low carbon energy system for Scotland and the º£½ÇÊÓƵ."
