British Gas
British Gas, as a leading responsible energy supplier, manages the social and environmental impact of their business in a proactive manner. The company is particularly committed to protecting and supporting vulnerable customers to alleviate fuel poverty in the UK. Initiatives to achieve this include:
- Essentials, the largest social tariff, which frees up a family's income to be spent on basic necessities
- 'here to HELP' which ensures vulnerable customers receive the benefits they are entitled to through a free advice service, and free insulation which reduces their fuel bill and carbon footprint
- Partnerships with charities such as Save the Children.
Their support of the Help Yourselves Awards programme demonstrates their real commitment to helping improve the life chances of children across the UK, tackling poverty and associated issues through empowerment. Together with Save the Children, British Gas has helped over 8,700 children since 2005 through this programme alone.
