#GreenTech won't make an impact if we don't have the #GreenSkills to back it up 👷💚 To MEND and maintain new green energy systems for our 10 million customers, it's never been more important to equip the workforce of the future. Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/evNxDVuj

As an organisation, we're committed to supporting our 2,500 colleague carers and we’re proud to feature as a case study in Carers UK's latest report. 💙   Our carer’s leave policy includes an initial 10 days paid leave, followed by another two weeks of discretionary leave, matched with two weeks annual leave. While the benefits for colleagues are obvious, we believe the business case is just as compelling.    Since introducing the policy in 2019, we've found: - Despite the substantial paid leave provision our policy offers, the average level of carer’s leave taken is just 3.4 matched days per year. - We save an estimated £1.8 million a year by avoiding unplanned absences and presenteeism (working while unwell or not fully performing). - We've saved £1.3 million over the last five years through increased retention, by supporting colleagues to stay in work while they care for loved ones. Our hope is that our experience will inspire others in our industry and beyond to prioritise and improve support for working carers across the UK. #MoreThanACareer #WorkingCarers #CarerPositive #PaidLeave #ProductivityBoost

To get to #NetZero, we need to make #GreenTech accessible for customers. That's why it's key to ensure products like #EV chargers and #HeatPumps are simple and affordable for homeowners across the UK. See how we're SELLING energy👉 https://lnkd.in/evNxDVuj

We're energy movers, taking it from where it's produced to where it's needed most. And our experts are forecasting peaks and troughs in #RenewableEnergy and making #DemandSideResponse easy for customers to integrate into their everyday life. See how we're MOVING energy 👉https://lnkd.in/evNxDVuj

British Gas has joined a consortium aimed at revolutionising the retrofitting of social housing 🏡💚 Alongside NatWest, Places for People, Sero and Tallarna, we’re using data from 1,000 households to quantify the environmental, financial and health benefits for residents of reaching #NetZero. The pilot aims to reduce energy costs for social housing residents and reduce the cost barriers associated with retrofits. It's just another way we're energising a greener, fairer future.

To get to #NetZero, the UK needs more storage capacity 🔋 Without it we won’t be able to manage peaks and troughs in #RenewableEnergy and we’ll keep relying on fossil fuels. From batteries to carbon capture and storage, see how we're STORING energy 👉 https://lnkd.in/evNxDVuj

Our Working Parent's Network had a ball attending the recent Baby Basics UK 15th Anniversary Gala, where we were a key sponsor of the event. It's an honour to support such a meaningful charity as they continue to support families struggling with the financial and practical burdens of looking after a new baby. 💙 #GivingBack #CharityPartner #WeAreCentrica
