Climate Change
New evidence predicts a 3oC increase in temperature by the end of this century. The United Nations has advised that “unprecedented” changes would be needed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, requiring serious effort at every level of society.
In recognition that every business needs to increase their environmental efforts, Guernsey Electricity have launched a Climate Change Statement, revised our 5-year Environmental Sustainability Strategy, and committed to achieving ISO14001:2015 certification of our Environmental Management System (EMS) within the next financial year.

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges the world faces today
We have big environmental aspirations for our small island community
We believe that the energy sector must take the lead in creating a greener and sustainable world
We understand our role and how we can help tackle climate change for our society
We envisage a future where all our energy supplies come from renewable and sustainable sources
We will enable an energy system that supports renewables and reduces reliance on fossil fuels
We will embrace new technologies for everyone’s benefit and enjoyment
This is the greatest contribution we can, and will, deliver
Alone we can do a little
But together as a community we can do so much
Delivering a sustainable energy future for Guernsey.
