We've installed solar panels at one of our offices to support our goal of working in ways to better support the environment.We've put the energy saving measure at our office in Heanor, Derbyshire which is used by some of our 450+ workforce.

Belinda Swift, Sustainability Assistant at Futures said:“Like all offices with lots of computers, electricity usage can be high, so installing the solar panels can reduce energy costs and help save money that we can then invest in our customers’ homes.”

It’s expected almost 20% of energy usage at the Heanor office will now be powered by clean, green electricity generated from the panels. Which means it's not only saving money but it saves on carbon emissions too - in fact the amount of CO2 it may reduce each year is equal to a car ride of almost 8,000 miles!

Belinda added: “Most of our new build homes come with solar panels as standard now and many of our customer's least energy efficient homes have had, and will continue to have, solar panels installed as part of our ongoing retrofitting works. But as well as making our customers’ homes more energy efficient, Futures also has a responsibility to work in ways that better support the environment. So we’re proud to take this important step toward reducing our carbon footprint and supporting our sustainability goals.”
