We’re passionate about the environment and Mole Energy is committed to supporting people and organisations in increasing self-sufficiency and reducing their carbon footprint. While we spend our working lives helping others to live more sustainably and self-sufficiently; we are always striving to do more:

We aim to:

• Comply with and exceed all relevant regulatory requirements
• Continually improve and monitor our environmental performance
• Continually improve and reduce our environmental impacts
• Incorporate environmental factors into our business decisions
• Increase employee awareness and training

Here are just a few examples of how we are making a difference:

• We have installed a 20kW solar PV system at our South Devon offices, so we’re powered by green energy
• We have installed electric vehicle chargers at our offices, as many of our Mole Energy vehicles are hybrid models, to help us reduce our emissions when we’re out and about
• We have installed LED lighting at our offices and at some of Mole Valley Farmer’s largest stores
• Our surveyors use tablets to complete their quotes onsite, limiting the amount of paper we use
• Wherever possible, we recycle our commercial waste. This includes electronic waste, including our customers’ old solar panels and inverters (which have been replaced by our Service and Repairs Department)
• Wherever possible, we choose suppliers that have a similar green ethos to ourselves. For example, our main printing supplier only uses paper which is Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certified, which means it can be traced from the raw material through to the finished product. FSC forest management certification confirms that the forest is being managed in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers, while ensuring it sustains economic viability.
• We have our milk delivered to the office in good old fashioned glass milk bottles, so we don’t buy plastic bottles
• Some of our team cycle to work, whatever the weather!

We’re committed to adopting greener practices wherever we can and will shortly be updating this page with additional initiatives.
