We are delighted to have been shortlisted for the Company of The Year category at an upcoming and prestigious awards ceremony, celebrating achievements in sustainable housing projects. The Unlock Net Zero Live Awards ceremony will be held in Manchester on the 27th June 2023, with the aim of recognising the progress that the UK’s housing sector and its supply chain have made towards achieving the government’s target of Net Zero by 2050.

Unlock Net Zero Live 2023

This inaugural awards ceremony will see the shortlisted candidates from 12 categories whittled down to identify the overall winners. These individuals or organisations will be chosen based on their successes in working in a collaborative manner to benefit local communities, through the delivery of carbon reduction projects across the UK’s housing sector.

The awards ceremony will be part of the Housing 2023 conference, which will be attended by 8,500 people, all of whom are passionate about the construction industry and keen to work towards a greener and more sustainable future for everybody living in the UK.

This event will allow professionals from a range of industry sectors to collaborate and share best practice, learn from industry experts and contribute their views on a range of environmental, social and economic issues facing our country and our industry over the coming decades. Issues such as social care, the integration of health and housing, the cost of living crisis and the importance of maintaining exceptionally high quality standards are expected to be covered, amongst many others.

Low Carbon Housing For The Future

There is wide recognition that retrofitting existing properties with carbon reduction as over 29 million homes will need retrofitting before 2050. Energy efficiency measures are vital to support the government in achieving its challenging targets, as is the need to ensure that all new properties that are built meet stringent low-carbon standards.

This awards ceremony will celebrate the successes that have been achieved to date and provide the inspiration for what is to follow. There are a number of exciting projects and innovations in the pipeline that will surely pique the interest of all those with a connection to construction, and this event will offer these attendees the opportunity to discuss them with others who share their vision.

Next Energy Nominated For Company of The Year – North

We have been shortlisted in the “Company/organisation of the Year – North” category and would like to take this opportunity to thank Unlock Net Zero for considering us. We are very proud of the achievements that we have enjoyed over the last few years and, in particular, of the social benefits that we have delivered within our local community. To see our work and team recognised at such an incredible event is the icing on the cake for us.

We would also like to express our heartfelt congratulations to all of the other shortlisted nominees from all 12 categories. We are deeply honoured to have been nominated alongside you and look forward to celebrating with you all next month.

Sustainability drives us

At Next Energy, our passion for carbon reduction is matched only by our desire to save our customers money. We believe that the way to a brighter and more prosperous future is to embrace renewable energy sources, insulate our homes, and remain comfortable and healthy without it costing a fortune.

We are fortunate that the government’s Net Zero by 2050 targets require that these improvements are implemented and that they are willing and able to financially support homeowners to make the necessary upgrades to their homes.

Conclusion

In playing our part, we will continue to actively seek out eligible households and to support them in applying for the grants that are necessary to allow them to carry out the home improvements that they need. We have already helped to improve the lives of thousands of people in the North of England, and have much further to go.

Being nominated for the Company of the Year award helps to increase our visibility and in doing so, our accessibility to those homeowners and tenants who may previously have been unaware of their eligibility for these schemes. We urge anybody who wishes to implement carbon reduction measures in their homes to contact us to discuss their requirements.
