Bold and ambitious corporate action is required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
The @UN Global Compact Network UK includes our work on SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) in its newly launched SDG Showcase report. The report serves as a tool for businesses to assess material SDG impacts and showcases good practice examples of the private sector working with a clear plan to advance the SDGs for the future we want to live and do business in.

Whatley Manor, has implemented new energy efficiency and consumption measures.
In 2022, compared to 2019, Whatley Manor has reduced its energy consumption per guest night by 25% and its gas consumption by 11%. Thanks to its investment in renewable energy, it achieved a reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions of 70.5%. Following a switch to biogas in October 2022, Whatley Manor is expected to reach Scope 1 and 2 close to zero in 2023 data.
We implemented several energy-saving and low-carbon solutions:
•Switching to a renewable energy provider
•Removing gas from kitchen
•Switching to biogas for heating and hot water across property
•Monitoring energy use (smart metering and centralising energy data)
•Implementing low-cost solutions (reducing pool/spa/boiler temperatures, replacing old appliances with energy-efficient alternatives, LED lighting, switching thermal suites to on-demand)
•Using a thermal camera to identify heat loss and improve insulation
•Training the team on good practices to save energy
