Autogem is building on its commitment to a more sustainable future after signing a three-year agreement to source all of its purchased electricity from zero-carbon energy sources.

The move represents another significant step in our ongoing environmental strategy and follows a major investment in solar power generation at our Wembley headquarters.

The latest development comes hot on the heels of an expansion of our solar installation, which saw an additional 146 panels installed, taking the total to 256. The expanded solar array boasts a combined capacity of 128kWp and is expected to generate approximately 51% of our annual electricity requirements, with surplus energy being fed back into the grid during periods of peak generation.

The new electricity agreement will complement this investment by ensuring that power purchased from the grid is also sourced from zero-carbon generation.

Managing Director Prashant Chopra said: “We’ve made a considerable investment in solar energy over recent years, but we’ve always recognised that generating our own electricity is only part of the picture.

“By committing to a three-year agreement for zero-carbon electricity, we’re taking another important step towards reducing our environmental footprint and ensuring that sustainability remains central to the way we operate.

“It’s about making responsible decisions for the long term and continually looking for opportunities to improve. We’re proud of the progress we’re making, but there’s always more that can be done.”
