While 92% of workers surveyed are concerned about the cost of energy at home, just 47% are concerned about the cost of energy for their employer, and it seems little is being done to improve this situation. Only 23% of employees have been asked to help save energy at work by their manager, and just 13% claim that they are rewarded for saving energy.

Using techniques from behavioural psychology to encourage staff to take simple actions on workplace energy consumption, travel and waste employers can help deliver significant reductions in operational costs and carbon emissions. For example reducing the energy used for lighting by 10% – something readily achievable by many organisations – equates to total annual savings across the UK of more than £55m.
