Secure Innovation are global leaders in developing protection products and tracking for cash and valuable assets. With a 40-year history in research and development, they are always looking to the future – not just for their business, but for the wider world.
That’s why Secure Innovation have embraced an ambitious sustainability programme that has carbon neutrality as a central goal.
As part of this, CleanEarth have installed a 160 kW rooftop solar PV system at Secure Innovation’s headquarters in Saltash, near Plymouth. In addition, we fitted ten EV chargers in the car park and also upgraded their grid connection.
Now their solar installation is providing around 40% of the site’s annual electricity demand, while staff and visitors can charge their electric vehicles for free.
As Tony Westington, Secure Innovation’s Managing Director says, “Our target was to move our energy consumption to renewables as much as possible. For us, this meant a significant investment in solar panels coupled with EV charging points. This vital combination would both future proof us and get us much closer to being a carbon neutral organisation.”
He was also impressed with CleanEarth’s performance throughout to the project. “They came highly recommended,” he said, “and lived up to expectations, working flexibly to accommodate our project with minimal disruption to operations.”
The solar installation is already providing clear commercial and environmental benefits. Over the system’s lifetime it will make savings worth more than £700,000 and reduce carbon emissions by 700 tonnes. Secure Innovation’s net zero journey is well under way.
