Going Green.
Environmental, Social & Governance Statement.
Advantage Finance is consistently and consciously engaged in offering the highest standards of customer service while making climate-motivated decisions, to ensure that we are making positive efforts to increase sustainability in favour of offsetting our carbon footprint and the future of the environment & business combined.
Here at Advantage Finance, we believe in people, and to action what we preach we ensure that we are doing our utmost best to create a sustainable environment for the current and future generations in and around our community, including schemes to promote healthier living and environmentally positive changes.
Offsetting our Carbon Footprint.
As the number of customers selecting to finance electric vehicles with us increases, so do the number of dedicated EV chargers and bays we have installed for the Advantage staff based at our head office – now sitting at 12 EV bays with this number set to grow.
We have also implemented an Electric Car Salary Sacrifice Scheme for staff at Advantage as more and more of our staff elect to go electric when they upgrade their vehicles. And for those who live close to the office, there is the Cycle to Work Scheme to strengthen our efforts to go as green as possible.
Powered by the sun.
When it comes to powering up our buildings off-grid, our biggest building Unit 10, based on the Acorn Business Park, Grimsby is powered by the solid stack of 116 Solar Panels that adorn the entire roof. Averaging out for a 6 -month period, these generate 22 000KW of energy of the required 23 000KW required to run that building at full capacity.
Moving inside the offices, all lighting is powered by LED bulbs, adding to this we also installed PIR Movement Sensors in all reception areas, kitchens and toilets that automatically turn off lights when these areas are not in use with scope to Include office spaces in 2025 to further reduce our energy usage.
Proud to partner.
As our conscious efforts to reduce our carbon footprints continues, we also commit funds to supporting The Woodland Trust through Carbon Neutral Britain, planting trees in the key areas they have identified and allocated for plant growth.
And finally, we are proud ambassadors of the “recycle everything” approach, in partnership with ELLGIA Recycling Innovation, with everything from paper to PC parts going through the correct recycling process.
We commit to continuing our conscious efforts and decision making, to ensure that our energy is being used efficiently, including making appropriate moves towards a more digital approach to how we conduct our business, where applicable.
Advantage Finance is serious about our commitment to environmental change!
