Close to 90 percent of small businesses are interested in energy efficiency

The majority of small business are interested in implementing energy efficiency measures and reducing their heating and electricity bills, recent research by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has found.

78% of the 1,077 firms questioned listed savings on energy costs as a motivator for carrying out energy efficiency measures. Furthermore, 70% of small businesses said protecting the environment was an important motivator while a quarter highlighted improved energy efficiency as a way to attract customers and help promote their business.

John Allan, FSB National Chairman said: “Small businesses are really enthusiastic about energy efficiency and this desire should be capitalised on for the good of their business and the environment.

“However, what our research does tell us is a simple ‘one-size fits all’ approach will not work as different businesses are driven by a diverse range of factors.”
